The Monarch Neihart Historical Group has been awarded a $750 grant from the GNRHS Heritage Fund to erect a kiosk at the Monarch, MT depot which they are planning to restore. The kiosk will be used to post historical information and pictures in addition to updates on the restoration efforts to the Great Northern depot.

MNHG, Inc is An 501(c)3 non-profit Montana Corporation. Their mission is to promote and preserve the history of the local settlers, miners, loggers, ranchers and the railroad industry. MNHG’s first goal is to restore the 1902 Monarch Great Northern depot, making it an interpretive center where the rich history of the area can be preserved and shown.

Check out MNHG’s website: mnhg.org for updates, map & events, and make sure to watch the late 1930s/1940 home movie of a Neihart-Great Falls train ride featuring GN steam and brand-new FT 5600.
