The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History supports “the study and love of American history through a wide range of programs and resources for students, teachers, scholars, and history enthusiasts.” By all accounts, its programs and materials are first rate—their focus is national, not regional (and they have very little specific to Montana), but for American history, it doesn’t get much better than Gilder Lehrman.
