Friends of Fort Owen Annual Meeting
June 24, 2023 @ 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
The annual meeting of the membership of the Friends of Fort Owen (501-3c) will be held on Saturday, June 24, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Lunch will be served. All current, former, and prospective members are welcome, as well as anyone who is just interested in learning more about Fort Owen State Park.
Montana State Parks will give members a tour of the recent restoration work on the East Barracks. Much has been accomplished at Fort Owen State Park since the Friends of Fort Owen were incorporated in 2018. The group helped bring financial resources to Montana State Parks to build a new roof on the barracks, held public events and adobe making demonstrations, and assisted with the knowledge about how to restore an adobe building which is rare in Montana.
Now that the original goals have been accomplished, Friends of Fort Owen is seeking new board members to help chart a new path for the organization as the Park enters a new operational era. If you are interested in becoming a board member, contact Margaret Gorski, 406-552-2072.
