My favorite exhibit at the Musselshell Valley Historical Museum in Roundup, Montana, is the NF Cabin. The NF cabin was located on the NF Ranch just west of our family ranch along US Hwy 12. Every time we drove into Roundup we drove past the cabin for the first 18 years of my life. Then the Museum moved the cabin into Roundup as a bicentennial project in 1976.
Originally the cabin was two identical rooms divided by a "breezeway." The cabin movers cut the logs in the breezeway taking only 1/2 of the cabin.
We have the logs from the other half of the cabin used as logs built into our house on the ranch 6 miles east of Roundup. Happy Trails from Rose Emily Blum, Life Member of the Museum
What is your favorite exhibit or artifact at the Musselshell Valley Historical Museum? If you want to share one of your favorites, I would be glad to include a photo of the exhibit.
If you want to share, you can email me at [email protected] or share it on our museum Facebook page. This will be a continuing series. I am planning to share the series with both newspapers, The Roundup Record-Tribune and the Roundup Herald, as well as the Musselshell Valley Historical Museum Facebook page.
The museum will open for the season on Sunday, May 1, 2022. It will be open seven days a week from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM until the end of September. Come in to learn more about the history of the NF Cabin.
