Welcome to our Tea and Revolution Book Club! Our book this week compliments our series “Building Community through Historic Preservation.” We’ll be reading Jim Jenks’ book “A Guide to Historic Bozeman” and taking a visual tour through Bozeman’s rich historic architecture. Follow along, won’t you?
The book will be available at our events this week. (For a full schedule go here) and at the Gallatin History Museum and Museum of the Rockies. You can also purchase it through Amazon here .
Below you will find supplemental photos, links and information and at the bottom of the page will be some thought provoking questions to ponder and discuss with other readers. Please join in the conversation about how we build community through historic Preservation!
