Winter is the perfect time to stop in and explore our Bonner County History Museum.  All proceeds will help fund the protection of our local history, thus making it available for all to learn and enjoy for generations.  

See our newest uplifting exhibit: " Come What May They Will Play".

We also have a compelling exhibit on the Kalispel and Kootenai people. 

Our "Dig Room" is full of interesting artifacts from the excavation for the bypass, plus much more on our area's fascinating people and times. 

We know many of you must be waiting for an invitation, so this is your invitation!  

We look forward to seeing you soon.   We are open: Tuesdays and Wednesdays 11-2  and Free First Saturdays 10-2
