What is the history of Missoula?

A late night shuttle service also runs from the university district to much of the downtown area, and the Missoula International Airport offers flights to such big city destinations as New York, Los Angeles, and beyond.

Missoula boasts one of the largest media outlets in the state, serving broadcast to well over 100,000 homes nightly.

The Missoula County Courthouse is an architectural marvel, and a number of historic homesteads can be found throughout much of the downtown square, including the stately Atlantic Hotel (dating back to 1902).

What is there to do around Missoula?

Missoula is often considered the cultural center of Montana, with dance companies such as Bare Bait Dance and the Rocky Mountain Ballet Theater calling the city home.
