Tobacco Valley Historical Village represents this communities' commitment to preserving its past. The Village was established in 1971 with a general store, church, railroad depot from the old town of Rexford. When thier original site was inundated by Lake Koocanusa, they were moved to thier present location, five acres of land leased from the Lincoln Electric Co-op Inc.

The Tobacco Valley Improvement Association Board of History relocated more old buildings including a schoolhouse, library, log cabin, hand-hewn house, fire tower and caboose. Memorabilla, books, household utensils, documents, clothes, toys and signs began to accumulate as valley residents began loaning or donating their relics of the past.

The Historical Village, is more than just a showpiece. The school house is available for public meetings and teachers are invited to conduct their classes in it for an occasional break from their normal regimen.

The church is open for community services during the annual Rendezvous celebration. The Fewkes General Store has become a museum where the public can come and see an interesting display of historical items. During winter months local ladies work to produce quilts which are sold to raise money for the Village. The village also plays host to the Eureka Montana Quilt Show which will take place August 6th 2005.

In 1983, the Lincoln Electric Co-Op sold the site to the County which then leased it to the Board of History. Beginning as a dream of a few caring people, the Historical Village has become a community institution, It will remain a place for Tobacco valley residents to remember their past as they look to the future.
