MT Pioneer Jews

In this Extreme History event from July 26, 2018 at the Hager Auditorium of the Museum of the Rockies, historian, author and educator, Dr. Ellen Baumler, discusses her research on Montana’s Pioneer Jewish Communities. How early in Montana’s history did Jews arrive? When, and in what ways, did they become influential? What were the differences among the Jews who settled in Helena, Bozeman, Butte, and Billings? Why was Helena’s YWCA the only unaffiliated chapter in the entire United States until the 1980s? Dr. Baumler reveals answers to these and many other questions.
