Historical Picture Prompt Contest Winners
We had a very competitive Historical Picture Prompt Contest this year, with nearly 150 entries. It was difficult to select winners, who were chosen by a panel of judges from the Montana History Portal and Distinctly Montana magazine.

They will be receiving great prizes from our long-time partners in this contest, Distinctly Montana and the Museum of the Rockies. Congratulations to the winners, and we offer our appreciation and thanks to all those who entered!

New Haynes Photos
This week we uploaded 226 new photos by famed photographer F. Jay Haynes, from the Montana Historical Society. Most of the photos were taken in Yellowstone, including this great photo of the Fountain Hotel, which was demolished almost 100 years ago. You can find that photo here on our website, as well as a link here to over 1,400 Haynes photos.
