Think Cooperstown and you think baseball. Think Canton and pro football comes to mind.

"That’s what I think we’re trying to do here, create a center that is national," Tim Love said Monday. "It’s like the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. You go there and you realize it’s not about Missoula, it’s about North America."

A core of believers has been trying to create a physical manifestation of the National Museum of Forest Service History in Missoula http://www.forestservicemuseum.org/ for years. So far roughly $4 million of the $9.5 million needed to begin construction of a 30,000-square-foot museum has been raised, while across town more than 36,000 artifacts, photos and documents are stored at a Forest Service repository on South Catlin Street.
