Walk this way to know Kalispell!
The well-researched, high-quality walking tour shows how Kalispell evolved into the cultural, economic, and transportation hub of Northwest Montanaโ€™s unique Flathead Valley.
The approximate two-hour, level, and ADA-accessible tour covers approximately one mile and makes more than two dozen stops amid 30-plus highlighted buildings that tell the story of Kalispellโ€™s history and people.
Along the way walkers learn about architectural styles and modern reuse as well as prominent citizens and early settlers, how a bison herd could buy a city block, and where to spot ghost signs.
All walks begin and end at the Northwest Montana History Museum, 124 Second Ave. E., Kalispell.
Recommended for ages 10 and up.
Museum admission is included with a ticket to the walking tour. Visit https://www.nwmthistory.org/programs/downtown-kalispell-walking-tour/ for ticket and walk policies.
