The Blaine County Wildlife Museum project began in 1991 when the Blaine Theater building was donated by the Blaine Bank of Montana. The
future home of the Wildlife Museum is located in Chinook’s downtown business district. At this time, please call or email for the opening date.
This will be a one of a kind facility in Montana, where the State’s wildlife species will be displayed in their natural habitat. The facility will include
a gift shop featuring the work of Montana artists, carvers and taxidermists. The role the State’s various animal species played in the history of
Montana will be brought to life through permanent exhibits, displays, historic narrations and sound effects.
The Blaine County Wildlife Museum will be marketed as a unique attraction nestled among an abundance of historical sites such as the Blaine
County Museum and the Bear Paw Battlefield, located just 20 miles south of Chinook.
The Blaine County Wildlife Museum has a tremendous amount of support from the community of Chinook and the surrounding area. With a
determined Board of Directors, most of the renovation has been completed on the building and work on the exhibits has begun. Many mounted
wildlife specimens have been acquired and are on display. Local fund-raisers are held annually and supporters are able to adopt animals that
will be placed in permanent exhibits to assist in costs.
The Board has held numerous open house events over the years to offer the public a chance to see the progress on the extensive renovation
of the building and to see the collection of mounted animals and birds.
