Shots Felt Round the World

Designed and produced on-site at the Carter County Museum in Ekalaka, Montana, the exhibition “Shots Felt ‘Round the World: Maurice Hilleman and the Montana Origins of the Fight Against Pandemics” provides historical context for the subjects of vaccines, infectious disease, and healthcare. Visitors are invited to discover the process of scientific inquiry and vaccine development through the inspiring life of Dr. Maurice Hilleman, who was born in Miles City, and laid the foundation for the modern fight against pandemic disease. Visitors are invited to view the exhibit online. This exhibit is distinguished by winning "Best New Exhibit 2022" from the Museums Association of Montana at the 2023 MAM Annual Conference.

The CCM would like to thank the Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development, the Museum of the Rockies and the American Studies program at Montana State University for research support of this exhibition, as well as an anonymous donor for their contribution to the museum. We would also like to thank HumanitiesMontana, who supported the exhibition's travel throughout Montana in 2022 through a SHARPS project grant.
