The Northern Rockies Heritage Center (NRHC) was established as a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation in 1993 to preserve part of the remaining historic property at Fort Missoula, a former military post originally located on two hundred eighty acres of secluded valley floor bordering the Bitterroot River in western Montana.\n\nOwned and operated by the U. S. Army since 1877, the facility was closed in 1994, under the Base Realignment and Closure Act (BRAC). The U. S. Congress authorized NRHC to administer sixteen acres and fourteen structures on the property for historical, cultural or educational purposes. The original NRHC Operations Plan was approved by the Montana State Historic Preservation Office in April 1995. All buildings under NRHCownership are on the National Register of Historic Places.\n\nMission\n\nThe mission of the NRHC is the preservation of the heritage and the integrity of historic Fort Missoula. The Directors of NRHC have pursued this mission through adaptive re-use of the buildings on our campus, repair with historic preservation in mind, and awareness of the needs of the community. The Board of Directors and Staff of NRHC recognize the uniqueness of this historical resource and desire to bring together many fields of study in developing the Center. We have an interest in connecting history, geology, and geography through studies in aspects of military science, the Native American presence, how extractive industries affected the growth of the West, agriculture versus urbanization, immigration, transportation, local culture and other topics of interest.\n\nVenue\n\nProvides full use Heritage Hall (T-2), Villa (B-30), and beautiful Parade Grounds as venues for weddings and community events. Leases low-cost office and studio spaces to museums, galleries, educational, artistic, environmental, cultural and other community enhancing organizations and endeavors.\n\nPlease contact booking agent at (406) 396-4750 for further details.

In addition we strive to set and maintain high standards of musical excellence for a broad and diverse community of constituents. At the same time we acknowledge the value to ourselves and our students in interaction with other departments on campus in the belief such efforts will broaden our sphere of influence resulting in promotion of the role of arts in our culture. Finally we recognize a responsibility to be of service to the greater region by providing leadership and public service to students and teachers in schools and communities. The School of Music and the other units of the College of Visual and Performing Arts were recently recognized by the Northwest Accreditation Association as being “a jewel in the crown of The University of Montana.\n\nThe School of Music offers both professional and liberal arts degrees in music at the undergraduate and graduate levels. An academic minor is also available to students majoring in other disciplines. Clearly the mission and objectives of the School of Music are directly related to those of this specific institution as well as the Montana University System. Recognizing this University’s strong commitment to providing a broad-based liberal arts education, the School of Music and College of Visual and Performing Arts have further been charged with serving as the principal location for professional training in fine arts. Through its historic mission and proven reputation for offering high quality education, the School of Music continues in its role as the provider of the state’s only graduate level programs in music.\n\nMusic Bulidng: built in 1953, this red brick building’s shape is uniquely and fittingly a grand piano, and the west side’s louvered walls, made of Indiana limestone, resemble piano keys. Located north of the Fine Arts Building, the Music Building houses the College of Visual and Performing Arts School of Music.\n\nThe Music Recital Hall: located in the Music Building on campus, ¬†the music recital hall has a capacity of 400, which includes balcony seating.
