The MonDak Heritage Center in Sidney
has a special room set aside for historical records; newspaper archives, books on Montana History, private collections, and a special homesteader card file listing families together. Volunteers maintain this room, and match obituaries with the cards. Several Richland County cemeteries are indexed here.
Special exhibits are featured at various times of the year. The Spring quilt show is well attended. The basement has early day pieces and political history. One of Montana's Governors, Donald Nutter came from Sidney.
