Foundation
The stone foundation of the Half Moon School teacherage provides a scenic border for agriculture-related excavation work being done on property owned by Gordon Cross near the intersection of Trumble Creek and Conn roads. The stonework is not the original foundation, though. The teacherage originally was located about a mile down the road to the south. The historic building, which has been relocated to another area of Cross’ property, has a noteworthy side story. Actor Kiefer Sutherland had the teacherage restored as a studio for his intended bride-to-be, Julia Roberts, in the early 1990s. The wedding didn’t materialize and Sutherland later sold the property to Cross.
Bibler tours
The annual Bibler Home and Gardens Summer Tours begin Monday with a kick-off wine reception at 6 p.m. For the rest of the week, the hour-and-a-half tours will take place twice daily at 5:30 and 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Reception and/or tour tickets must be purchased in advance with proceeds going to benefit the scholarship program at Flathead Valley Community College. According to foundation coordinator Nancy Clawson, tickets to nearly every tour are practically sold out.
