We learn so much about our city from this cute little museum!

Always love visiting them! They take donations of antiques too!

It was interesting and there was lots to look at, but after looking for a no photography sign and finding none, I started taking a few photos of signs and exhibits I thought were cool. The manager proceeded to show me a piece of paper taped to the door of a conference room in the side of the building saying no photos at the bottom of the list in very small print and be very upset about it. I was confused and sincerely apologized. It would be easier if the sign was in a more noticable place, I looked for it and couldnt find it. The museum also seemed short staffed and if thats the case its completely understandable :)

Small but full of fun stuff. I wish the train was open!

Eclectic and honest. We loved it

I love to come here with my son and read all about the different plants and trees

Loved it. Lots packed into a small area. Loved the native American exhibits and artifacts, especially the photos.

So much natural & Sandpoint history, it is awesome! Theres a beautiful grove of trees, too. Theres mining & circus & oddities memorabilia! There is so much to see! Plan on spending a couple of hours for this remarkable treat!

The museum is small but with lots of interesting objects. There are some sections related to the history of the area (native tribes, Lewis & Clark, railroad, mining, logging) that are permanent with specialty collections that change. The 1930s era kitchen is a favorite. May 2018 new exhibit was curiosities with fascinating displays including taxidermy and circus freaks. The caboose located outside has displays as well.

Lady in the front reception was very kind. First experience there was great. My kids loved it

Very well done and reasonably priced cost of admission.

Great place to view. The only thing about it was the waste management smell however, its beautiful and great museum there even though its small its worth it.

Loved the interesting displays. Especially the. Curious Circus exhibits.

Interesting museum with an eclectic spread of exhibits. The arboretum out back is also neat. Its worth a look when youre in the area.

Its a neat, local museum. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have displays relating to mining, forestry, paleontology, native Americans, explorers, and even carnival sideshows. It is educational and even somewhat entertaining.

The museum was outstanding. Very educational and informative.

The Bonner County Historical Museum has a few interesting artifacts relating to the history of Bonner County but the majority of their displays are revolving displays that featured different things and I was a little bit disappointed that they didnt actually have more of the Bonner County history at any given time. Ask to get into the Caboose out front though because thats pretty neat.

I wish we could have stayed longer. My husband and I will call Bonner County home in the future, but the museum exhibits gave us a glimpse of the past. Its such a friendly place, even children were there to enjoy the displays. We didnt get to view the arboretum but will take that in on our next trip.

What a cozy museum with great displays of artifacts and history of the surrounding areas. Very friendly staff and great displays.

Unique curios beautiful Kalispell Indian canoe, circus oddities, one-man rail riders, beautiful Ponderosa

Nice place lots of stuff to see

Such a nice calm place to visit and learn about the area history.

The museum is awesome you learn quite a bit and recently went for the movies in the park got to visit in the museum love this place

Wonderful little museum that tells the history of Sandpoint going back to the Kootenai and Kalispel peoples. From a fur trading outpost to a small shanty town, to a booming town with a railroad, Sandpoint has a rich history. There are temporary exhibits, also, that change seasonally. The museum is located in a lovely park with large western red cedars. The Kinnikinnick Native Plant Society maintains an area of native plants with labels that makes for a nice stroll. There is also a caboose under renovation. Overall, a very nice way to spend a morning or afternoon.

They have a pretty diverse set of local historical items on display that we enjoyed looking through.

In-depth history of the area.

This is a wonderful place to learn about Bonner County history.

Local history at its finest.

Lots of history in a small space.
