Fort Missoula was established as a military post near Missoula, Montana in 1877 and in 1975, the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula (HMFM) was founded. Today the Museum exhibits are located in the Quartermaster’s Storehouse and the Museum’s 32-acre park contains a number of historic buildings. One of the buildings in the Museum’s park is the Drummond Depot. Among the displays in the Drummond Depot is a model railroad diorama. A model railroad display is, of course, more than just tracks, locomotives, and railroad cars: equally important are the realistic buildings and other features which make the display come to life.
