UNSEEN MISSOULA – Our exciting and new tour program! The Downtown Missoula Heritage Program (Unseen Missoula), a partnership of the Missoula Downtown Association, City of Missoula’s Historic Preservation Office, and Historical Research Associates, began offering historical guided walking tours every Thursday and Saturday to the public in June 2018.

The Unseen Missoula Program is comprised of three tours: Basements & Back Alleys, Hotels & Hooligans, and Secrets of the Clark Fork River Walking Tour. These tours promote the heritage and uniqueness of Downtown Missoula and work to engage Missoulians, visitors, civic groups, downtown businesses, and property owners in fostering cultural identity and promoting heritage tourism.
