Yellowstone Gateway Museums
Want a more complete picture of the history and culture of the Yellowstone region? Check out the Yellowstone Gateway Museums' "Passport to Adventure."
Five* museums in the area that surrounds Yellowstone National Park joined together to create the passport. Visitors to any one of the facilities can pick it up and have it stamped there—and each time they go to any of the other of the "gateway museums." When all five have been visited, and the passport stamped for each, visitors then receive the reward designated by that museum where they received their fifth and final stamp.
The passport is valid through December 31, 2011. Ask about it at any Gateway Museum!
Yellowstone Gateway Museums are:
- Buffalo Bill Historical Center, Cody, Wyoming
- National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson, Wyoming
- Carbon County Historical Society and Museum, Red Lodge, Montana
- Yellowstone Historic Center, West Yellowstone, Montana
- Yellowstone Gateway Museum, Livingston, Montana. *Please note: the Yellowstone Gateway Museum in Livingston is currently closed for renovations. Tentative reopening date is November 1. In the meantime, visit the four remaining museums and receive your reward at the fourth! For more information on the museum in Livingston, stop by Livingston's Chamber of Commerce.
