Sun River Valley Historical Society

Mission: To preserve the history of the Sun River Valley.

We have published two books, are working to restore the 1800s Fort and Cemetery at Fort Shaw, to educate and to preserve the rich and important heritage of the Sun River Valley

The Society was founded in 1977 with a goal of recording the history of the valley and preserving the  Fort Shaw Military Fort. The Society has published two books. The first, A Pictorial History of The Sun River Valley published in 1989. Our recent publication, Sun River Valley History II just came out this past year. Both publications have been very well received, with copies shipped all over the country

We’re continually working hard to make improvements at the Fort, recording history, and taking on projects. We have published two books, established a beautiful monument to the Championship Indian Girls’ Basketball Team. Now we are working on building improvements and are planning our 150th Anniversary of the Fort.
