To enrich the cultural life of our community and region, and preserve the artistic legacy of Montana and Glacier National Park
The Hockaday Museum of Art was established in 1968 by local artists and is today a leading public art museum and cultural resource for the Flathead Valley and regions beyond. The Museum contributes appreciably to regional tourism, economy, and quality of life for the community and state.
The Hockaday Museum of Art's collection captures the nostalgia and grandeur of Glacier National Park, the glory days of the Empire Builder Railroad, the Blackfeet Nation, and those who chose to settle in this majestic part of Montana. The collection features works by significant authors, photographers, and painters as well as Glacier Park collectibles such as vintage maps and hand-tinted photographs.
Artists include: Charles M. Russell, Winold Reiss, Ralph Earl DeCamp, Joe Scheurle, Fred Kiser, T.J. Hileman, Roland Reed, John Clarke, O. C. Seltzer, Mark Ogle, Nicholas Oberling, John Fery, Adolph Heinze, Earl E. Heikke, and Diccon Swan. Also featured are artifacts from writer James Willard Schultz and other luminaries.
The Hockaday Museum continues to build its permanent collection in achieving its mission to preserve the artistic legacy of Montana and Glacier National Park.
