GREENE — On Friday, May 11, Araxine Wilkins Sawyer Memorial will present “Majestic Montana,” a travelogue narrated by Steve Gonser, who has led long-distance bicycle tours, wilderness mountaineering expeditions and cave exploring adventures.

The 85-minute film features ranching at the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site, an Indian powwow, tours of Yellowstone and Glacier National parks, searches for sapphires at the Spokane Bar Sapphire Mine and an explanation of why the fourth largest state is referred to as dinosaur country,

Gonser investigates the myths, legends and reality of people who traveled west to help shape Montana’s future, and takes viewers on hiking trails to observe the scenic wonders of its wild areas.

Born and raised in Marion, Ind., Gonser taught science in public schools before entering the world of film production. He has produced award-winning, commercial multimedia shows as well as feature-length multimedia and film travelogues.

Gonser, also a social anthropologist and paleontologist, has presented 17 travel film programs in more than 700 cities in the United States. Venues include the National Geographic Society, the Carnegie Institute, Maryland Academy of Science, Denver Museum of Natural History and Chicago Geographic Society.

“Majestic Montana” will be shown at 2 and 7 p.m. at the memorial, 371 Sawyer Road. Admission is free. For more information, call 946-5311 or visit www.sawyer-foundation.com.
