Photo Diary: Montana Natural History Center, Missoula MT [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-07-19

This is a small nature museum in the middle of town. There is a collection of fossils and some taxidermied native Montana wildlife. It’s geared mostly to kids, but I’m just a big kid.

Some photos from a visit.

For those who don't know, I live in a converted campervan and travel around the country, posting photo diaries of places that I visit.
