Meet Brit

Brit 

I lived my entire life in beautiful Kalispell and after I graduated from Glacier High School in 2010, I headed off to college life in Missoula. I am pursuing my Bachelor's degree in History and will be entering my third year at the University of Montana. So far I absolutely love living in Missoula. 

 

I returned to Kalispell this summer to work as a tour guide at the Conrad mansion. The Victorian time period is one of my favorite areas of study so I think working in a Victorian mansion is just the perfect summer job for me. 

 

I look forward to learning all I can about the mansion and meeting new people every day.

 

When not working I love doing anything outdoors, hiking, swimming, etc. 

 

-Brit Clark 

 

We appreciate Brit and all of our terrific staff here at the Conrad Mansion Museum.

 What & Where is this in the Mansion?


AC Lamp

 

There are so many unique items and features of the Mansion!  Have you seen this?  Drop us an email if you can guess what the above image is on and where it can be found at the Conrad Mansion.  Answer will be in next month's newsletter.

 Last month's answer...

fountain

 

The image depicted last month was an old fashioned water fountain.  Architect Kirkland Cutter was ahead of his time and designed some wonderful features at the Conrad Mansion that we're beautiful and convenient for all to enjoy.
