Description:
Mark your calendars!
Missoula Historic Preservation and Unseen Missoula will be showing original sign artwork of over 50 of Missoula's most iconic businesses and places circa 1940s-80s. See vintage sign renderings for The Florence Hotel, Highlander and Missoula Brewing, Fox Theater, The Mercantile, Reds Bar, H.O. Bell, The Palace Hotel, Bob Wards, Double Front Chicken and so many more, and meet Linda Lennox - Missoula's own sign historian. Ms. Lennox began her career at Walford Sign Co. in 1960, owned it from 1975 to 2000, and worked for its subsequent owner, Epcon, until she retired.
