The campus of the University of Montana sits in a picturesque spot, surrounded by the town of Missoula, soaring mountains on all sides, and the rushing waters of the Clark Fork River. Construction on the campus began at the tail end of the 19th century. Most of the buildings on campus are much newer, but a few old structures remain. What was once an empty, open field is now a bustling campus, crowded with buildings, cut through by roads, and brimming with trees in every direction. This Adventure Lab is intended to allow you to travel back in time to see what the University of Montana campus looked like at various times over the past 130 years. At each location, you will be presented with a photo from years ago, allowing you to see how the campus has changed over the decades. This Adventure Lab was created and sponsored by the Montana History Portal, in conjunction with the University of Montana's Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library. All images were provided by the Mansfield Library.
