Exhibit Opening for Casting the West: The George Montgomery Collection

The History Museum will open a new exhibition on Second Saturday, July 13 of bronze sculptures by George Montgomery. George Montgomery (1916-2000), born in Brady, Montana, was best known for his work acting in Western films and television. His success in Hollywood allowed him to pursue his other artistic interests, including sculpture. Works featured in this exhibition show Montgomery’s knowledge and admiration of history, the west, wildlife, and figures in entertainment such as John Wayne and Ronald Reagan. The History Museum will be open to the public 12pm-5pm with free admission with a short talk at 1pm by Ashleigh McCann, Collections Curator. George Montgomery’s book, The Years of George Montgomery (1981) will be available for purchase in The History Museum’s Gift Shop & Bookstore.
