The Conrad Mansion Museum, Hockaday Museum of Art, and Northwest Montana History Museum will offer discounted admission to all three institutions 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 14, to celebrate Locals Day.

Visitors who show their Montana driver’s licenses can buy a “passport” to the Conrad, Hockaday, and the Northwest Montana History Museum—all located within a nine-minute walk of one another in downtown Kalispell. The passports are available for purchase at all three locations.

The passport costs $10 for adults; kids 18 and under are free.

Locals Day is a chance for community institutions to extend their reach, introduce missions and offerings, and gather residents to celebrate Kalispell’s culture core.

Directed by Sergio Leone, the low-budget A Fistful of Dollars was the first of three movies featuring Clint Eastwood as the Man with No Name. After its release in 1964, it was followed by For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad & the Ugly and took Eastwood from a relatively unknown television actor to movie stardom.

The classic spaghetti western screens 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27, at the Northwest Montana History Museum.

Doors open 6:30 p.m. Admission and popcorn are free, but donations are accepted to help defray the costs of Movie Night. Soda, water, beer, and wine are available for purchase. Seating is provided, but viewers are welcome to bring their own cushions or seating.
