Editor,
As reported in the Oct. 24 issue of the Valley Journal, the Ninepipes Museum of Early Montana did, indeed, receive a $66,144 grant awarded by Montana Tourism. With the arrival of these monies, the purchase of the museum building and 3.5 acres of land becomes a reality — the “Save the Museum” goal has been met.
The museum’s board of directors is very grateful to each and every person involved in this endeavor. We have received pledges, donations, major gifts and grant monies from friends and supporters across the U.S. It has been a humbling and enlightening process to hear the words of appreciation and encouragement from our supporters and visitors. The board looks forward to sharing the treasures of the museum for countless years ahead.
The board announces a day of thanksgiving to be held at the museum on Saturday, Nov. 17, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission to the museum will be free. Light refreshments and, hopefully, a little musical entertainment will be available. We welcome everyone to come share with us in the good news that the deed for the museum is now held by the board. And we thank you sincerely for your efforts in making this possible.

Chairman, Ninepipes Museum Board of Directors
