HELENA — Historians from throughout the state and beyond recently gathered in Helena for the Montana Historical Society's 50th annual Montana History Conference. 'It gives us kind of one event that people can come to. Montana's a big state. Sometimes people can only attend one conference. So, we try to get some of that professional training in, some of that networking time, and some of that learning time all into one space,' says Montana Historical Society director Molly Kruckenberg. This year's theme was Building on the Past, building on the idea of the work that has gone into researching and understanding Montana's history throughout the past five decades during this conference and beyond.
