For Second Saturday April 13, join us at 113 6th Street North in Great Falls at 2pm for a special tour of the Brother Van House Museum! The Brother Van House Museum has been twenty years in the making from an unused parsonage to a house museum that celebrates the life of Montana Pioneer, William Wesley Van Orsdel, fondly known as Brother Van. Join this Second Saturday tour to hear Brother Van’s life story while also relishing this 1910 northside restored home where Brother Van lived.

Members of the committee who have restored the home will serve as docents along with Dr. Suzanne Waring, who is committee chair. With a keen interest in Montana history, Waring has written about Montana pioneers and events for statewide publications and authored the book, Montana Pioneers, Creating a Community that is devoted to the history of Great Falls. She also serves on the Cascade County/Great Falls Historic Preservation Commission.
