Miss Emily Ann Mayer is a member of one of Hill County’s oldest families.  Her love for Havre and Hill County history started during her childhood, fostered by her family and friends who were aware of Miss Emily’s love for her hometown’s history and passion for its historic buildings.  She attended Havre Public Schools and is a Havre High School graduate.  She earned her Associate of Science in Business Administration Degree from Montana State University-Northern, and later that year earned the Outstanding Young Montanan Award from the Montana JayCees, due in no small part to her efforts in preserving local history.  She has earned a certificate from the Asheford Institute of Antiques (2008), is an official certified Tea and Etiquette Consultant through the Dorothea Johnson Tea and Etiquette Masterclass (2009) and has successfully earned a ServSafe Certificate for Managers (2015).

Miss Emily’s resume of local history and historic preservation accomplishments is impressive.  She guided tours of Havre Beneath the Streets and Wahkpa Chu’gn Buffalo Jump and managed the Clack Museum for several years and was hired in March 2018 to manage the Clack Museum and Buffalo Jump; served on the Clack Museum Foundation during the historic old Havre post office Heritage Center project; served on the Fort Assinniboine Preservation Association board and guided tours of that historic site for many years, as well as participating in the Old Forts Trail Association and has now returned to both groups; dependably served Hill County on the Russell Country Tourism Board of Directors (now Central Montana Tourism) for seven years; served on the Havre Chamber Tourism Committee for several years and chaired the committee multiple times; and was instrumental in creating the Havre Historic Preservation Commission, generously volunteering her time as Historic Preservation Officer and successfully included Hill County in the Commission before resigning her position after five years of dedicated service.  Miss Emily subsequently took her love of local history and historic preservation and founded Havre Historic Tours and More (formerly High Line Heritage Resources) so she could focus on her tours, write local history books and accomplish other goals she set for her business, and Havre and Hill County have benefitted tremendously due to her tireless efforts. Miss Emily writes a local history column for the Havre Daily News and has contributed historical information for The Havre Herald online newspaper. She hosts the Havre Area History Almanac broadcast on KNMC 90.1 FM and serves as Secretary for the Havre Convention and Visitors Bureau. She is a member of the Havre Chamber of Commerce and has served on the Legislative, Business Development and Events Committees. Miss Emily loves working on preserving local history, especially her two historic homes, and has dedicated her life to what she loves doing for the community.
