B. M. Bower: A Female Author in a Man’s West
Illuminating the Shadowed World of Bozeman’s Historic Red-Light District
This exhibit is located within our historic building (located at 234 E. Mendenhall in Bozeman, MT) which was built in 1891 specifically to be a brothel.
You’re invited to explore a little known part of Bozeman’s history. The exhibit examines the hidden layers of the city’s “restricted district” that thrived from 1870s until 1918. You’ll learn about the lives and stories of two district madams, Lizzie Woods and Libbie Hayes and how they navigated the legalities, social stigmas and moralities of their business. You’ll learn too about the harsh realities these women lived with including drug addiction, violence and early death due to overdose, disease or suicide. Adding a rich cultural dimension to the narrative is the Chinese community’s connection to the district. This exhibit promises you a thought-provoking journey, shedding a new light on those who lived and worked in the shadows of Bozeman’s red-light district.
A BIG thank you to our exhibit sponsors including: Sally and Bob Beles, Erotique, Bridgercare, Treeline Coffee Roasters, Montana State University Women’s Center, Wild Crumb, and the Gallatin History Museum.

Setting a Truth Agenda
The Extreme History Project began as a means of making the humanities more fun, interesting and accessible to the general public and as a way to generate social change. The Project encompasses a variety of events and activities that enhance the public’s understanding of how history has shaped our present and how understanding that legacy can affect the way we behave towards one another. Extreme History believes in setting a Truth Agenda which will work toward eradicating political and social agendas from the traditional historical narratives and pursue a more balanced and honest expression of the past.
