Drone Flight above Fort Missoula Complex - Missoula, Montana MT
See views of Fort Missoula complex as you have never seen before. The early morning August air was crisp and calm, perfect for this UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) flight.
We start our tour with views of luscious green grass and continue to the 1906 Post Headquarters. This red roofed yellow building served as the Post Exchange and Canteen, and later the Post Headquarters.
In the distance you will see the 150 foot 1912 water tower that has not been used for decades. It now supports cell phone antennas designed to match the tower itself. The Missoula Country Club and its 18 hole championship golf course is to the left with the Bitterroot River behind.
We are now off to the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula to see the 1877-1910 Old Parade Grounds. This grassy area was used for flag ceremonies, drills and parades during Fort Missoula’s early years.
The 1910 Drummond Depot, constructed by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul Railroad was relocated to this site in 1982. We then climb up the 1946 Tipi-burner that was moved from Hamilton, MT in 2006.
The Willamette Locomotive no. 7, a Shay-type 70-ton coal burner used by Anaconda Copper Company is another anchor of the museum just like the Sliderock Lookout, a fire lookout built 1934.

Historical Fort Missoula | Eyebee allliance adventures
The fun of summer is having friends go on adventures. Eye Bee had Lew over again for another adventure. This is a local museum in our home town that we love to take our dogs to for walks.
Fort Missoula Internment Camp was an internment camp operated by the United States Department of Justice during WWII. Japanese Americans and Italian Americans were imprisoned here during this time.
Fort Missoula was established near Missoula, Montana as a permanent military post in 1877 in response to citizen concerns of conflict with local Native American tribes. In 1941 Fort Missoula was turned over to the Department of Immigration and Naturalization for use as an Alien Detention Center for non-military Italian men.
The for is open to the public and showcases Missoula's rich history all the way back to 1877. It has 32 acres with endless places to explore and your sure to find something for everyone.
The boys start by showing you how to escape a tank and ride off on their bikes to the train station to play with the fully functional model train.
Thanks for joining us Lewis.

Missoula Art Museum Roger Shimomura: Minodaka on My Mind
Roger Shimomura's paintings and prints, including this series, Minidoka on My Mind, address social and political issues of Asian America, and have most often been inspired by diaries kept by his late immigrant grandmother that span the 56 years of her life. Minidoka on My Mind is the fourth major painting series generated by Shimomura based on his World War II internment experience. Shimomura states,
It is the culmination of years of my perusing images culled from books, magazines, government publications, personal recollections, and the internet. The result of this search has been a visual distillation of tar paper barracks, barbed wire, and desolate landscapes, which are inhabited by muted occupants standing in line to eat and to clean, quietly interacting, contemplating their fate...and to wait.
Roger ShimomuraIn Minidoka on My Mind, Shimomura challenges our notions of history and uses images rooted in popular culture to thrust us headlong into the racial conflicts of World War II, a time that witnessed the unjust imprisonment of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans. In this body of work, Shimomura presents us with richly designed and seamlessly executed paintings that convey the emotions associated with the internment experience; emotions associated with innocent imprisonment within a country unwilling to address institutional racism. What also comes through is the resilience of the human spirit and a recommitment to remember the stories of internment camps such as Minidoka so they never happen again.
Roger ShimomuraThe name Minidoka is of Dakota Sioux origin meaning a fountain or spring of water. Minidoka was first used in 1883 as a name for a Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line spur in the middle of the Snake River Plain which later became the site of a watering station. However, The Minidoka National Historic Site is in Jerome County, Idaho, northeast of Twin Falls and just north of Eden, in an area known as Hunt. Under provisions of President Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066, persons of Japanese ancestry were ousted from the West Coast of the United States. Minidoka housed more than 9,000 Japanese-Americans, predominantly from Oregon, Washington, and Alaska. The remote high desert site was selected for the Minidoka War Relocation Center lasting from 1942-45, and is one of ten camps at which Japanese Americans, both citizens and resident aliens, were interned during World War II. Notably, 60% of the Japanese imprisoned were American citizens. Fort Missoula, just outside the town of Missoula, MT also served as a site for a War Relocation Center under this executive provision.
Through Minidoka on My Mind, we can reach for and gain insight into our past, and by sharing and revisiting these stories, we garner a more accurate version of our history. Ominously, Shimomura writes, I offer this exhibition as a metaphor for the threat posed by current times, and as a warning and reminder that during international crises our government seems to consistently lose its memory regarding past mistakes.
Roger ShimomuraShimomura was raised in Seattle, earned his B.A. from the University of Washington in Seattle, and his M.F.A. from Syracuse University in New York. He taught at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS and has recently retired. He has had over 125 solo exhibitions nationally.
This exhibition will be the educational foundation for the Fifth Grade Art Experience, co-sponsored with a grant from the Art Associates of Missoula. Additional funding for this exhibition is provided by the Wide World of Travel and the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula. MAMbers Reception sponsored by NewWest.net.

Missoula MT Real Estate | Neighborhoods | Downtown Missoula
Missoula MT Real Estate Neighborhoods Downtown Missoula.
Central Missoula is a vibrant area coursing with activity, civic involvement, and life.
Downtown Missoula is a bustling center of commerce and activity revered by all Missoulians, but it is also a neighborhood, a home to many residents who relish being in the middle of it all. There are grand historic homes along the east-west streets of Pine, Spruce, and Alder, which are named for native Montana tree species yet lined with other deciduous trees. There are also affordable apartments, high-end condos, and modest bungalows surrounding the downtown proper. Monday through Friday, Heart of Missoulians share their neighborhood with architects, lawyers, business professionals, Forest Service employees, retailers, and restaurateurs. On the weekends people flock from all over to shop, dine, and gather for entertainment. In the spring, summer, and fall the morning farmers’ markets turn over to festivals in Caras Park in the afternoon and evening. In the winter, downtown is still alive with holiday shopping, events, and a homegrown film festival in February. The Heart of Missoula recaptures a sense of neighborhood that pre-dates the 1940′s and 50′s Norman Rockwell vision. This dense area of homes and commerce harkens back to the old Western settlement where community was everywhere you turned and your grocer, banker, and barkeeper were also your neighbors.

Missoula Art Museum Jay Schmidt: Warning Shots
Jay Schmidt: Warning Shots
Jay Schmidt has been making art for thirty years in Bozeman, MT. The Missoula Art Museum is excited to work with Schmidt on mounting this comprehensive one man exhibition, his first major museum show in Montana. As visitors to the exhibit will see, Schmidt is a prolific painter and sculptor with a strong vision. A primary exhibition of his work is long overdue in our state.
Schmidt earned a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1974 and completed his MFA at the University of California, Davis two years later. In 2007 he retired from a twenty-four year career as a professor in the School of Art at Montana State University. Since then, Schmidt's studio practice has gained the head of steam of a freight train. Over the past five years, Schmidt has been integral in orchestrating a dozen collaborative exhibitions as well as two solo shows leading up to this MAM exhibition.
Outside Schmidt's home studio, situated on a hillside above an idyllic little Montana valley outside of Bozeman, stand outsized sculptures executed with a chainsaw. The piece titled Mascot is a menacing, two-faced anthropomorphic rat; the face on one side glares at you through one large, blood-shot eye and smokes a cigarette, the opposite side of the head is a brutish rendition of the clichéd dumb, buck-tooth rat complete with a red clown nose. There is a large bird-headed man with a totem of sorts on his back. A large skeleton stands, with jointed, dangling arms and hands held upright by marionette strings in a questioning pose, beside him an M-16 rifle painted Day-Glo stands taller than the figure.
Entering Schmidt's studio, the viewer is immediately engulfed by the impact of his paintings. His large scale, multiple panel canvases are at once a visual orgy of challenging imagery and beautifully constructed compositions of color and form. Schmidt works on a single picture plane -- there is no fore, middle and background -- carefully filling the canvas from edge to edge and corner to corner in the manner of a good formalist painter. But in these paintings the elements of composition are symbols laden with contemporary imagery, nothing is sacred in Schmidt's paintings. To be clear, while some of the works may be disturbing, it is only because the words, images, Pop culture symbols, and faces used carry so much weight in our current culture. This work addresses our contemporary global culture in a frontal assault. While the work's subject matter is aggressive and confrontational, it is remarkable in that there is no message of self-righteousness or moralistic lecture. In this feat, Schmidt's experience and maturity shines through.
Warning Shots is the perfect play between the 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional work. Whereas the sculpture is brutish and tends to emphasize an anti-craft aesthetic, Schmidt's painting style is refined, mature, and bold. The works in the exhibition play off each other as a fully resolved whole. Schmidt's Warning Shots is powerful and thought-provoking, yet beautiful to gaze upon its colorful, advanced compositions. This body of work spurs a sincere visceral reaction, something not uncommon in the presence of powerful art, but also too rare to some artists as Jay Schmidt believes. He trying to change that.
