The historical museum in Montana is founded in 1953. Two years later the house – museum “Christo Michailov” is founded in the memory of the revolutionist – patron of the town by that time. For nearly five decades a tremendous amount of work is done for collecting, scientific research and making popular the historical evidences. From 1968 to 1994 continuous archeological excavations are carried out. The researches do not only provide new evidences for the development of the town through the Roman age, but they also report for settlers life in the present town’s area from the stone-copper age to the end of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom in 14-th century.
