We are very grateful to those who have given to our End of Year Campaign, we could not do any of this without your support! Your dollars help us provide you with quality history programming. We ask you to donate $25, $50, $100 or more to help us bring history to you in 2024.
Thanks in advance, we appreciate your support and depend on it!
Looking back on the year – Our historic walking tours, lecture series, publications, The Dirt on the Past podcast, presentations, workshops, online Book Club, and our documentary work covered a wide variety of topics meant to inform and provoke further thought and discussion.
Our Symbolism and Preservation Cemetery Workshop in Deer Lodge, MT co-hosted by the Foundation for Montana History and the Old Montana Prison Museum was a hit! Classroom discussions and presentations by notable experts preceded a tour and scavenger hunt held in the local cemetery. An After Life party hosted by the Longfellow Finnegan Riddle funeral home in Anaconda capped off the event.
Passionate volunteers started our Extreme Stitch and Sew-ciety which helped enhance our period appropriate costuming as we strutted in the Sweet Pea Parade and as our History After Dark “ghosts” told their stories.
Again this year, we were honored to collaborate with Indigenous Peoples’ Day Montana and screen the docuseries, Murder in Bighorn which focused on missing and murdered Indigenous women.
We’ve partnered with the Museum of the Rockies to expand our podcast, The Dirt on the Past to video using the Museum’s new studio space and featuring artifacts from the Museum’s collections. This is called The Dirt on the Past: Museum Edition
Looking forward to 2024 — We will continue to bring you all the programs and events you have come to love along with new and innovative programming, exhibits, and films!
We are working on the second and third episodes of our Emmy nominated, The Story of Us: The Women Who Shaped Montana, a film series that tells the stories of Montana’s historic women that will air on Montana PBS in 2024 and 2025.
We will install a new exhibit on Bozeman’s historic Red-Light District in our headquarters building in January so watch for that!
We will co-host another cemetery workshop – this year in Butte so stay tuned!
Our work in the area of historic preservation will remain a critical focus in light of the current city development with the hope of encouraging community discussion and participation.
And so much more . . . !
But, to do this work we need you. Please understand how much your participation in our events, your purchases in our Extreme History Gift Shop and used Book Shop and your donations mean to us. To put it plainly, without your support, The Extreme History Project would no longer exist.
