Nominate a Local History Hero

Every community has them--the unsung heroes of local museum or preservation efforts--including language preservation. Maybe it's time to let the whole state know about the person who means so much to your community.... 

The Montana Historical Society is seeking nominations for people and organizations whose exemplary commitment to identifying and preserving our historical and cultural heritage makes them eligible for the Heritage Keeper Awards. 

To qualify, the individual must be alive, and organizations must be currently active. Nominees will be evaluated on the significance and impact of their overall work in enhancing, promoting, and stimulating general public interest in a specific aspect of Montana history and culture. You can find a list of past awardees here

The nomination deadline is April 1, 2022. The nomination form and additional information can be found on the Montana Historical Society website. 

Nominations or questions can be emailed to Jenni Carr at Jenni.Carr@mt.gov, or mailed to Heritage Keeper Awards Chair, Montana Historical Society, P.O. Box 201201, Helena, MT 59620-1201.

Awardees will be honored in celebrations in their home communities this coming summer or fall.
