​EXPLORE MISSOULA’S UNIQUE HISTORY WITH UNSEEN MISSOULA’S GUIDED WALKING TOURS

As Downtown Missoula evolves with new growth and development, there’s never been a more crucial time to celebrate and honor the city’s rich heritage. With a focus on providing safe, educational, and entertaining heritage opportunities in Downtown Missoula, Unseen Missoula Historical Guided Walking Tours are ready for its eighth consecutive season!

Unseen Missoula presents five tours, each unveiling a distinct facet of the city’s colorful past: Basements & Back Alleys, Hotels & Hooligans, Carnal Enterprises, Lower Rattlesnake & Greenough Park, and Screams & Spirits.

Step back in time with Basements & Back Alleys as we delve into the intriguing era of Missoula’s transformation from a rugged frontier outpost to a bustling economic and cultural hub between 1880 and 1920.

Hotels & Hooligans peels back the layers of Missoula’s railroad boom, uncovering tales of everyday life and not-so-ordinary escapades, from courthouse scandals to the shadowy recesses of the city’s hotel district. Carnal Enterprises invites you to explore the once vibrant restricted district that was pivotal in shaping the Missoula we know and love today.

For nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike, the Lower Rattlesnake & Greenough Park tour offers a journey through the storied landscapes of Greenough Park and the Greenough family before venturing into the historic Lower Rattlesnake neighborhood. Offered in October only,  Screams & Spirits delves into the history defined by forgotten cemeteries, abandoned buildings, and even murder.

Unseen Missoula is more than just a tour – it’s a celebration of Missoula’s unique past, fostering a deeper connection among Missoulians, visitors, civic groups, downtown businesses, and property owners while championing the spirit of heritage tourism.

Public tours are $18 per person and can be purchased online at www.missouladowntown.com/tours/unseen-missoula. Unseen Missoula also offers private tours throughout the year to accommodate large groups.
