The largest collection of antique artifacts in western Montana is exhibited at the MIRACLE OF AMERICA MUSEUM. Called The Smithsonian of the West by many visitors, displays include everything from a tiny bird-point arrowhead to the 65 feet. Paul Bunyan, a logging tow boat listed in the National Register. Displays of Indian items, cars, cycles, toys, dolls, guns, homesteaders, clothing, wagons, buggies, sleighs, snowmobiles, military, tools, and tractors spill out of the main building into the courtyard. There you'll find a pioneer village, which includes an original sod roofed log cabin, general store, school, fire house, and shops for a blacksmith, barber, tailor, carpenter and saddle maker. Other buildings house the Montana State Fiddlers Hall of Fame, logging memorabilia, and wooden boats. Allow yourself plenty of time to see it all. Nominal admission is charged. 883-6804.
