These signs are in Hieronymus Park in Hamilton, MT. They mark when Lewis and Clark came through the Bitterroot Valley and met the Salish Indians.
Hieronymus Park is a large park located in town. It is a dog friendly park. It's also a great place to do some bird watching.
We found these on our way to another cache that we were unable to find.

This band shell is located in Claudia Driscoll Park in Hamilton, MT. It is still used. In the summer, the Hamilton High School Band plays every Tuesday evening. Luckily, we live close enough so that we can enjoy the music. Sometimes, others play at the bandshell as well.
The kids in the picture are 2 of our 3 Minchkins.

This is the Bitterroot Public Library on State Street in Hamilton, MT. Found out that it was a Carnegie Library doing another cache.
The plaque reads:
Hamilton's Ministerial Association opened the first free library in Ravalli County in April 1903 in a room donated by the Ravalli County Bank. Three months later, Hamilton voters levied a one mill tax to support the library, and the enterprise passed into public hands. In 1907, the library moved to the newly constructed city hall. When that space became inadequate, the community approached steel magnate Andrew Carnegie for money for a new building. The process stalled because Carnegie, who helped finance over 1,600 library buildings across the country, required towns to provide a building site. The Hamilton Woman's Club revived the campaign in 1914 by procuring the necessary gift of land from Margaret Daly. On July 8, 1916, the new building opened to the public. The $9,000 structure's symmetrical facade, daylight basement, and classical detailing are characteristic of Carnegie libraries. The front portico was added later. Community support led to construction of an addition in 1988, which has allowed the Bitterroot Public Library to meet the growing needs of its patrons.
