For an awesome array of local art, make your way to the Hockaday Museum of Art, just outside hotels in Kalispell. This premier art museum in Northwest Montana exhibits the works of both current and historic Montana artists from a stately, historic 1904 Carnegie Library building and holds a permanent collection of nearly 2,000 artworks and cultural artifacts.

Leaving Kalispell hotels for the afternoon, you can plan to tour the Conrad Mansion Museum to explore this historic Victorian-era shingled Norman mansion. It was the beloved home of Charles E. Conrad, a late 19th-century shipping magnate and early founder of Kalispell. Built in 1895, the mansion has since been fully restored but the building itself remains unchanged since architect Kirtland Cutter designed and built the home for Conrad and his wife Alicia. While here, you can take a tour of the sprawling estate led by one of the museum guides that are outfitted in full period dress.
