Stevi Visitor Info Kiosk grand opening
July 31, 2019 @ 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Stevensville’s unique history, recreation, businesses, and attractions are showcased on a new Visitor Information Kiosk being constructed at Veterans Park in Stevensville (100 Main Street). The grand opening will be Wednesday, July 31, at 4 p.m. in Veterans Park.
The kiosk has been nearly two years in the making, a cooperative effort between the Town of Stevensville, American Legion Post #94, Civic Club, Garden Club, Historic St. Mary’s Mission, Friends of Fort Owen, Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes Culture Committee, Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge, U.S. Forest Service, Trapper Creek Job Corps, Bitterroot Cultural Heritage Trust, local businesses, and the Stevensville Main Street Association (SMSA), which initiated and coordinated the effort. SMSA obtained more than $12,000 in grant funds from the Montana Department of Commerce and Rapp Family Foundation, plus contributions from local businesses and organizations, to make it possible.
The kiosk has eight interpretive panels, featuring Stevensville’s area attractions and activities, it’s unique history from the Salish homeland to the present, local business and industry, events, recreation, and wildlife. The project purpose is economic and tourism development—a way to retain visitors so they will spend more time and money in the community. But it also is a source of pride for those who live here, who appreciate the wonderful community of Stevensville.
