Have you driven past this old schoolhouse...but never stopped?

Now is your chance to see what's behind those historic walls, and to help shape what comes next!

Thanks to a Montana Department of Commerce grant, the Mountain Brook Homestead Foundation is partnering with Cushing Terrell Architectural Firm to develop a long-term plan for this historic campus. We want to hear from longtime neighbors, newcomers, and even those who've only ever driven by.

What would make you stop?

Join us Tuesday, July 21 • 6:00–8:00 p.m. for a relaxed community conversation about Mountain Brook's future.

✅ Pulled pork dinner, watermelon & cookies
✅ Historic public playground for children
✅ Your ideas matter - everyone is welcome!

Can't make it? We'd still love your input through our community survey:
