From 1889–1917, West Front and Main Streets were home to a vibrant ‘red light’ community of working women, Chinese laborers, African American soldiers, and immigrants who helped shape the Missoula we know today. This 90-minute walking tour explores the district through the historical lenses of sex, race, class, and occupation to paint a fuller picture of our city’s past—all set against the backdrop of the remaining built environment.

This tour begins at the front of the Wilma and covers about five city blocks. It is ADA-accessible.

Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water!

Cash tips are always appreciated by our guides—but never expected.
