The Conrad Mansion is a recipient of Flathead Electric Cooperative’s Community Education Grant for its educational history tours: 

 

From in 2023-2027, educational history tours will be FREE for all students and teachers on a scheduled field trip. 

 

*Flathead Electric Cooperative’s Community Education Grants are funded by unclaimed capital credits. “Capital credits” refers to the money not-for-profit Flathead Electric Cooperative returns to its members when it brings in more revenue than is needed to operate. Some of those capital credits go unclaimed, usually because members move away without updating their mailing addresses. When capital credits go unclaimed for five years or more, Montana law allows that money be used for educational purposes, such as supporting the Conrad Mansion’s educational history tours

SPECIAL TOURS

In addition to regular season tours, the Conrad Mansion offers several special tours and events throughout the year.

Lettie Conrad and The Wild West Tour

The Lettie Conrad tour honors Kalispell’s Founding Mother, Lettie Conrad. The story of Charles Conrad has been well-told by Kalispell locals and visitors since the 1890s. Mr. Conrad’s adventures and accomplishments echo through to this day as we live and work in the town he helped found. But, as the old saying goes, “behind every great man, there’s a woman,” and this special tour tells that story. Learn about an Edwardian woman’s life in Montana while touring through the Mansion’s twenty-six rooms.

The Lettie Conrad Tour is on hiatus for 2025.

Historical Fashion Tours

 

The Conrad Mansion is excited to announce our 2025 historical clothing exhibit, From Cradle to Grave: Fashions for life’s passages between 1881 and the 1970s.

Join volunteer curator of textiles, Teresa Knutson, as she guides us through a remarkable garment collection at the Conrad Mansion Museum. 

Each year, Teresa Knutson creates a new historic clothing exhibit focusing on nineteenth and twentieth century fashion. During the 2025 exhibit, she will focus on clothing worn to celebrate birth, coming of age, marriage, death.

Knutson not only uses fashion to tell the story of the era, but also the story of the Conrad family, who moved into the Mansion in 1895.

These special fashion tours will be held the last Thursday of every month, from June through September, from 5:30-7:00pm at the Conrad Mansion. There will be an optional Q&A session with light refreshments following the tour.

These tours are family-friendly, but we do not recommend children under 10 attending. All proceeds benefit the Conrad Mansion Museum.

Tickets are $30.00 per person.

 

It’s unreal to think that Teddy Roosevelt himself stayed in the Conrad Mansion all those years ago. The tour is incredible and the staff is friendly. I’ve been many times and it never gets boring. ”
