The Powder River Historical Society is pleased to announce plans for construction of a new “Welcome Building” at the Powder River Historical Museum in Broadus, Montana. The multi-purpose, single-story facility will serve as both a gateway to the museum campus and a civic welcome center for visitors to Broadus, Powder River County, and the surrounding Southeast Montana region.
