About BCHS

Founded in 1972, the Bonner County Historical Society has been collecting and preserving the Bonner County region’s significant stories for over 50 years.

The Museum is located at 611 S Ella Ave, in view of Lake Pend Oreille in beautiful Lakeview Park. You can't miss the big yellow caboose on the Museum's lawn!

We are a 501(c)3 Idaho Educational Charity

BCHS preserves Bonner County’s vibrant legacy by sharing its history and stories through engaging programs, exhibits, and research. In stewarding our local treasures, we spark curiosity, strengthen community bonds, and ensure our legacy thrives for future generations.
