Yellowstone Gateway Museum
About This Museum
Tucked just off the main drag in Livingston, the Yellowstone Gateway Museum feels like a natural first stop before heading into the park itself. It’s a place that grounds you in the wild human history of the region, far beyond the familiar geysers. You'll find everything from intricate Crow beadwork and well-worn saddles to tales of early tourists arriving on the Northern Pacific Railway. It’s a compact but rich collection that tells a deeply local story.
Collection Highlights
The museum's heart is its permanent exhibit on Park County history, featuring a stunning display of Crow and other Native American regalia. Don't miss the temporary exhibits, which often dive into specific, fascinating topics like the era of dude ranching or profiles of early mountain guides.
Visitor Information
It's an easy, affordable stop right in town—perfect for a rainy afternoon or to get your bearings. Just check their website for seasonal hours, as they can change.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a handsome, historic stone building that was once the city's schoolhouse, it has a solid, rustic charm that fits its setting perfectly.
