A Taste of History 2026: Fundraising Gala for the Yellowstone County Museum in Billings, MT.

Join the Yellowstone County Museum and our annual sponsors at the Edwards Jet Center for an evening celebrating local history with music, food, and good friends. All funds raised will go towards achieving our 2025-2026 goals.

If you are interested in being a Museum sponsor, please visit the museum website and click the “Support YCM” button in the top right of your screen.

The party kicks off with a visit to the museum for cocktails and live music with the Hayden Quartet.

Then a big thank you to our sponsors at the Edwards Jet Center with live entertainment by Little Joe and the Cartwrights, substantial hors d'oeuvres, and an open bar at the Edwards Jet Center!

Thanks to your generous support, within just the last year the Museum was awarded national accreditation, completed a major construction project, and is near finishing the development of a youth education center. 2026 is shaping up to be another transformational year. Our key goal is to vastly expand educational programming. This includes summer camps, bringing rural students to the Museum, improving the Education Center, and continuing to host an annual field trip for all Billings 8th grade students.

Your commitment to preserving local history is deeply appreciated, and we are honored to have you as a valued supporter of the Yellowstone County Museum. Together, we are ensuring that future generations can explore and learn from the rich tapestry of our past.

Please consider sponsoring the Museum to help preserve our past and secure our future. https://www.ycmhistory.org/
