History of The Square

Paris Gibson Square, one of Great Falls’ oldest and most beloved landmarks, has served as a center for learning and growth for more than 100 years. The magnificent sandstone structure was completed in 1896, served for 34 years as Central High School and for 45 years as Paris Gibson Junior High, before closing its doors in 1975.

In 1977, community volunteers renovated and reopened the historic building as Paris Gibson Square. Since that time, the institution is called Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art and it has been providing contemporary art exhibitions, art classes, lectures, docent tours, and performances designed to nurture the region's creative spirit.
