Replacement of a cupola roof on the National Register-listed Libby Heritage Museum in Libby, Montana.

The roof of the Libby Heritage Museum, MT, is leaking and needs to be replaced. The 13,500 square foot history museum is listed on the Federal Register of Historic Places and is a 12-sided, two-story log structure of native western larch and lodgepole pine. It was listed early due to its uniqueness and importance to the local community. The building contains thousands of local historical artifacts displayed in 41 exhibits. The Museum has drawn visitors from all over the world to the Libby area which contributes to the local economy. (Edited by staff)
