For nearly two decades, Winter Storytelling at Travelers’ Rest has been a seasonal celebration of the Séliš tradition of sharing stories during the cold winter months.

we will gather at the Travelers’ Rest State Park Visitor Center – and on Zoom – at 11 am to hear stories from elders, authors, historians, and naturalists.

Admission to Winter Storytelling is $5 per person; free for members of Travelers’ Rest Connection. A Zoom link is provided below; we hope all of our Zoom attendees will join the Connection or make a donation using the Donate button at the top of this page. Thank you!

-Leslie Millar, Queen Elizabeth I Time Travels

Artist Leslie Van Stavern Millar III dresses in period costume and brings a selection of her three-dimensional, sci-fi alternative history art works, the Montana Peepshow Story Boxes, depicting time travel episodes of Queen Elizabeth I. The art and stories lead to conversations about episodes of Montana history, what was occurring in 16th century England that encouraged exploration and invention, and the use of imagination and creativity in problem solving. Leslie has been doing performance art as Science Woman since 1991. She is an independent researcher and visual artist in Missoula, Montana.
