Fun stop to get a good grip on this area. It is very interesting to see all the memorabilia that they have collected.The hosts are full of information about all aspects of this area.
cute little place with a diverse selection of local artifacts and information on display. its free so worth a walk through
The South Bannock County Historical Museum is a great place to learn about the area. The exhibits are interesting-providing information about the area in a way that is very interesting. Many exhibits put a human face on the historical information-talking about rancher ...While we were there, some children were practicing for an area history play they will put on. It was interesting to hear them practice. The staff were very happy to answer questions but didn't hover.You can visit the museum for free. We made a small donation because we really enjoyed the museum.
Local, informative, relevant to area, and authentic in natural, regional history and people. Much recommended
If you want to see some very interesting exhibits and really get a feel for how long the hot springs came about and the history of the place, this is a very interesting museum. They changed their exhibits from time to time so going back after you see that makes it worthwhile. The folks that staff the museum are very knowledgeable and are extremely pleasant do yourself a favor and go in and check this out you won't be disappointed.
Enjoyed the museum. Lady was very knowledgeable and kind. Saw many interesting artifacts. A great little place to visit, I thoroughly recommend visiting.
There is no charge for this museum and if you like antiques, they have a few nice ones on display here.
The SBCHCM is located on Main Street in the heart of Lava Hot Springs. The exhibits convey the history of the Lava Hot Springs area. Among the exhibits is one devoted to that segment of the Oregon Trail that passed through/near Lava Hot Springs. The exhibit is a nice complement to interpretations offered by other museums and historic sites along the Oregon Trail in southeast Idaho.
The museum was in an old bank building and was a bit cramped, but filled with a lot of local history and artifacts! There was no charge to enter; however they do accept donations... Definitely worth the 30 - 45 minutes walking through. The Docent was very friendly and knowledgeable!
Cool little place packed with history and artifacts its free and something to do while in lava. There is a wide variety of artifacts from the old bank vault that now holds equipment from the old hospital to soldier uniforms and guns, to railroad workers tools. Neat place
