Bike Soldiers Presentation
3:00 PM (America/Denver)

Description:
Did you know Missoula was home to a military bicycle experiment in the 1890s? Bring your kiddos out to celebrate Black History Month with a special presentation about the 25th Infantry African American Bicycle Corps who were stationed at Fort Missoula. What would possess a group of soldiers to take up bikes in the 1890s? How did they pack up all their gear? Where did they go? Join Kristjana from the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula for a story about the bike soldiers, a look at some historic photographs, and a craft activity to figure out how you'd pack all your gear if you were a bike soldier!
