This Center for the Arts opened in 1977 in the 1910 WaterWorks
basins that previously produced Miles City's drinking water for over
60 years.
It's located just west of Miles City, Montana on the banks of the
Yellowstone River in an area that was part of the 1876 Fort Keogh
Reservation. Previously, it was a common camping ground site used
for centuries by the first Americans. Guided by a philosophy
of public service in the arts and cultural interests, this
non-profit center produces a year-round calendar of changing
exhibits, workshops, classes and humanities programs.
Listed in the National Register of Historic
Places, this converted industrial facility with its craftsman styled
Pump House, earned a Montana Governor's Historic Preservation Award
for the best adaptive re-use of a historic structure
and also for excellence in the Arts.
