The celebration also marks the reopening of the Arts and Cultural Center to the public. The center is dedicated to preserving Bigfork’s history.
Julie Bottum, executive director of the Bigfork Arts and Cultural Center, said the center is about more than preserving the past.
"It's really about connecting individuals. We come to a place not only because it's beautiful and we love it, but we love to share," Bottum said. "The Bigfork Arts and Cultural Center allows us that space. We capture the stories, we share those stories, we learn from those stories as we continue to work into our future."
