OUR HISTORY
Chouteau County Library
Dorothy McLeish founded the Fort Benton Study Club in 1914. Less than a year later, she asked Carnegie for a library gift. After six months and a recommendation from university librarian Gertrude Buckhous, Carnegie gave $15,000 to Chouteau County. On October 4th, 1918, the Chouteau County Carnegie library opened.
