The Seeley Lake Historical Museum was built in the winter 1929-30 as a horse barn on the Double Arrow Ranch where the roof collapsed during the 100-year snow of 1996-97. The barn was moved about a half mile from its original location and first reopened the barn doors in 2001 after it had been salvaged, dismantled and rebuilt Lincoln-log style. The old barn continues to serve the needs of its surroundings, recalling the past while looking to the future of the Seeley Lake Area. Seven double size (two horse) stalls are themed displays about our local cultural and natural resources. Each stall, named after a team of horses which had occupied it, brings back memories for some and tweaks imagination for for others. Display themes include Joe Waldbillig Pioneer Display, Norman Maclean fire and fish display., The Big Burn fire of 1910, Cabin Fever Cures, Local business history display, Old Time Logging, and Wilderness Epicenter. The outside grounds have additional displays.
