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.

With no nameplate or descriptive plaque, we have no information on this compressor, nor do we know how it had been used. It is what it is. It is on the northeast side of the tipi burner next to a couple of bright yellow log skidders. With luck they are planning to restore it and attach some information on it.
