Exhibits
The museum has an extensive collection of over one million artifacts. To show as much of the collection as possible, a rotating exhibit space changes biannually.
Our current exhibits tell the story of Bonner County – from the earliest residents of Bonner County, the Kalispel and Kootenai people, to the settlers and how they interacted with the landscape to make a living at farming, logging, and mining. Visit our exhibits past and present below.
