Rating: NR

A nostalgic look back at our summer vacation counterparts of a century ago.

The film makes use of the History Museum's Bovey family collection of old film and restored photographs as we follow the Couch and Ford families' journey by automobile, train and boat from Great Falls to Glacier National Park in 1914. Historical interviews with park rangers, Native Americans, historians and descendants of park concessionaires explain the Glacier Park adventure.

"Glacier Park Remembered" was directed and produced by Emmy-winning filmmaker, Craig Wirth with Jim Meinert serving as Executive Producer. The film is presented by the History Museum in Great Falls, Montana.
