  Years ago I spent a long day liberating Herb Banks very significant collection of railroad photos from the highly acidic environment in which he had encased them, behind glass and with backing nailed to the frame. On this trip I stopped at the museum to view them again, and was refused. "We can't show these to the general public." This is NOT what museums are about. If they won't show them, they should give them to another venue which will. Herb did not take those pictures to hide them in a drawer! Who knows what else they have sequestered? This whole experience was shocking and very upsetting. I do not recommend that you submit yourself to a similar disconnect from reality.

  We live in Lewiston and have visited this museum many times. If you are a local or visiting the area be sure to put this on your list of "things todo"The museum is a rather small museum but has many interesting artifacts and will give one a quick overview of the history of the area and give ideas of other areas you many want to investigate.They have fun things for children to do and the staff is friendly and helpful.Here you will learn the Lewiston was once known as Rag City and also was the capitol of Idaho in early days. Lewiston, Has lots of history..Start at the museum and then drive the town and recognize all the historical blds

  Average size collection of the Nez Perce tribe. Fascinating tribe story. Nice childrens corner to trickle the senses. Free entrance, so wurth the stop when following route 12.

  It helps if you read bout the Nez Perce first. I recommend Yellow Wolf by L. V. McWhorter. We went specifically to see the Nez Perce reservation and visit the sites mentioned in Yellow Wolf. It was worth the trip. .

  This museum is a wonderful experience and should not be missed. Also, take a look around and appreciate our native brothers.

  We stopped in to find out about the local history and found a nice variety of exhibits on the local Lewistown history, some exhibits on the Nez Perce Indians, and of course info on Lewis and Clark. Very well done for a volunteer organization.

  This was so awesome. We loved this one. So much history and all 5 of us enjoyed it. We enjoyed every room. My son and his 2 older children got the most of it my other granddaughter is only 2. They were VERY interested in everything we saw... People were so nice when we came in also.

  Enjoyed the very informative movie and exhibits. Easy to find. This venue helped us further understand the plight and the injustices brought upon the Nez Perce, particularly the bands that suffered in their quest to live free.
