Preservation & Legacy Awards 2026

The Great Falls-Cascade County Historic Preservation Advisory Commission and The History Museum & Research Center present a joint ceremony celebrating preservation and community legacy in the Ozark Club event room. This gathering is free to attend, light refreshments will be served, and the museum’s annual membership meeting will follow. One of HPAC’s 2026 Preservation Awards recognizes the Beckman’s Building, stewarded by Shari Jenkins Schmit. Constructed in 1888 by contractor William Roberts for A. W. Kingsbury, the building began with a Victorian design and over time housed the W. B. Raleigh Company, the Imperial Theater, and most prominently Beckman Brothers Furriers from 1928 to 1990. The furriers’ well-known fashion shows and craftsmanship left a strong impression, and Art Deco updates in 1929 helped define the building’s look. The space later welcomed Feather Your Nest. Since acquiring the property in 2024, Schmit has undertaken a careful restoration that honors its history while preparing it for new uses. Union Bethel AME Church also receives a 2026 Preservation Award. Established in 1890 at the heart of Great Falls’ African American community, the congregation built its current structure in 1917 after the original wood-frame church deteriorated. The Gothic Revival building, made possible by members and local supporters, has long served as both a spiritual home and a center for cultural life and civil rights in the city. Current preservation work focuses on stabilizing historic masonry, including repointing brick walls, repairing parapets, and reinforcing the structure. Supported by significant state and national grants and carried out by a committed congregation, the project retains historic materials and appearance to ensure the church remains a lasting landmark of heritage and resilience. The History Museum & Research Center’s Individual Legacy Award honors Dr. Edrienne (Cindy) Kittredge. Raised on her family’s ranch near Cascade, she studied at the College of William and Mary, Arizona State University, the University of Montana, and Montana State University. From 1987 to 2004 she served as the Cascade County Historical Society’s first full-time and longest serving executive director, guiding the organization from two rooms in Paris Gibson Square to its home on Machinery Row. She later advanced arts initiatives in rural Montana, helping launch Montana’s Circle of American Masters and developing the My Artrepreneur Program to support folk artists. She is now focused on writing, with a forthcoming 2026 book titled Crossing Bird Creek: A Land Ethic for Montana and the New West. This recognition reflects her sustained commitment to history and traditional lifeways. The 100 Year Legacy Award goes to the Fagenstrom Company. Brothers Joe and Hjalmar Fagenstrom arrived in Great Falls in 1908 to work on the railroad from Armington to Billings and formed Fagenstrom Bros around 1914. They prospered as general contractors until the Depression left them with new houses they could not sell. After World War II, Joe’s sons Jim and Dick returned from service, and in 1948 Joe and Jim founded Joe Fagenstrom & Son with a focus on utility work, especially sewer and water pipelines. Joe retired in 1968. When Jim moved his family to Portland and left a manager in charge, a tragic accident in 1974 brought sons Kurt and Brett back to run the firm, with Kim joining in 1977. The company diversified into precast concrete and expanded its facilities, and Greg Fagenstrom now serves as a fourth-generation co-owner.
