Ronan's Mission Mountain County Visitor's Center is a community project of the community of Ronan whose aim is to serve summer visitors to the Mission Valley in Western Montana. The community operates the visitors center from Memorial Day through Labor Day of each summer tourism season. The visitors center building is a hand-hewn log structure that was built in the 1870's and was used at the Sloan Stage Stop on the Dixon to Polson stagecoach line in the latter quarter of the 19th century. The building had fallen into disrepair and was relocated on property that was developed into the Mission Mountain Country Club in the 1980's. The cabin was moved off the site by Ronan State Bank and was eventually donated to the community for the purposes of being restored into a visitors information center. The project was spearheaded by the Lake County Community Development Corporation which raised community support for the project and secured the assistance of the US Forest Service who awarded a grant to further the project. The site is provided by Ronan State Bank and the building and improvements are owned by the Lake County Community Development Corporation. The center is operated by volunteers organized by the Ronan Chamber of Commerce. Plans are currently being developed to further improve the center by adding a hand hewn log structure to the site to house a restroom facility.Although the Visitor Information Center is open seasonally, the Chamber of Commerce is open year round.
Directions: The Ronan Mission Mountain County Visitor's Center is located on US Highway 93 in the middle of the City of Ronan. It is on the west side of Highway 93 just south of Ronan state Bank and directly across Highway 93 from Ronan Sports and western ( both of which are prominent and conspicuous Ronan locations).
