Fort Missoula, for nearly a century a military fort, is now a National Historic Place and park. In the park are a few of the pre 20th century buildings from the original 1877 fort and many buildings from the early 1900s. They have an eclectic collection of large artefacts, including machinery and tractors, a lookout tower, railroad engine and cars, a tipi burner, the old Drummond, MT RR station, an old school and an old mission, artillery and a historical museum. It's a great place to spend an afternoon or a whole day.

This Case steamer is in running condition and in the summer operates an old demonstration sawmill. Its serial number, 33433, suggests that it was made in 1916. Below are some tidbits from the 1916 Case Catalogue.
