The Powell County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to sponsor this popular event.
As the Summer Season draws to a close, the good people of Deer Lodge are having one final fling before Fall arrives. Events run from Wednesday through Sunday and include the following:
This is the fifth year of hands-on courses and Educational Programs dedicated to preserving, understanding and recreating the heirloom cultures, skills and environments and experiences of the peoples inhabiting the Rocky Mountain area of Montana. Events take place at the Pen Convention Center and the Grant-Kohrs Ranch. Full details, times and prices can be found at www.academyoflivinghistory.com, or by calling Gary Swant on (406)-691-0368
The 16th year of this event brings together the young and the young-at-heart to experience Old-Time Horse Power. Draft Horses, Mules, singles and 6-horse hitches are included, together with a Trade Show, Vendors and Quilt Show, Ice Cream Social and a new inductee into the Hall of Fame. Events start at 8am on both days at the Tri-County Fairgounds. Tickets cost $8 per day or $15 for an Event Button (Event Button gets you entry on both days, FREE admission to all Museums and entry into the Grand Prize Draw).

Free admission to ALL MUSEUMS. The Old Montana Prison and Montana Auto Museum are open from 8 am till 6 pm (last admission 5:10 pm), Frontier Montana and Yesterday’s Playthings open at 9 am and close at 5 pm.
Patricia Nell Warren is signing ‘My West’ (a compilation of articles she has written — anything from possible Indian Mounds on the Grant Kohrs ranch to the botany of bunch grass to interesting people).
Edward Louis Henry is signing two books from his 4 book series on a mountain man called Temple Black. These would be classified as historical fiction as they are based on historical facts with a fictional person traveling through.
Both authors plan to speak and we would love folks to take the opportunity to meet these authors.
