On February 11, 2023, The History Museum's Second Saturday series featured local historian Ken Robison's presentation entitled "A Day at the Ozark."

The Ozark Club was a Great Falls nightclub that defied the racial barriers of the 1960s and provided the city's residents with outstanding live jazz performances. The popular night club was located in Great Falls at 118 3rd St. South. Sadly, the Ozark Club burned to the ground on July 12th, 1962.
