Description

Join The Extreme History Project for a tour through Bozeman's dynamic North Side. Join The Extreme History Project for a tour through Bozeman's dynamic North Side. On this tour, you will uncover how the community to the north of Beall Street developed, you will learn about the family for whom Beall Street and Beall Park are named, and you will visit one of the oldest remaining houses in the neighborhood - dating to 1874! Your tour guide will then take you from 1874 into the early 20th century as Bozeman's North Side became the home to a small but enduring African-American community and to Bozeman's working class. Along the way you will learn how historians uncover information about the ordinary, every-day people that did the hard work to build Bozeman. The Extreme History Project began as a means of making the humanities more fun, interesting and accessible to the general public and as a real means of generating social change. The Project hopes to encompass a variety of events and activities which will enhance the public’s understanding of how history has shaped our present and how understanding that legacy can affect the way we behave towards one another. Extreme History believes in setting a Truth Agenda which will work toward eradicating political and social agendas from the traditional historical narratives and pursue a more balanced and honest expression of the past.
