The Museum of Idaho is a great place to learn about Idaho’s history and culture. The building in which the museum is housed started its life as a public library, built in 1898 by the Village Improvement Society with the help of the Carnegie Foundation. The Improvement Society was run by a group of local women who wanted to bring culture to then dusty, wild, little town. When the library moved to a new location, they collected funds to renovate the dilapidated building and turn it into a museum.The exhibits that can be seen in the museum today were collected by the society members and today reflect Idaho’s history and way of life with exhibitions.
