In conjunction with its Museum operations, the YHC staff offers programs that further interpret the history of the region. Walking tours of the Historic District are led by Museum staff. Guest speakers present special programs on a variety of topics throughout the summer season.
The YHC cares for an extensive collection of artifacts and documents that support its Mission to understand, preserve, and interpret the unique cultural heritage if West Yellowstone and the Hebgen Lake Basin, and the connection of that heritage to the development of transportation and visitation to Yellowstone National Park.
