Just steps from the banks of Lake Coeur d’Alene, the Museum of North Idaho in Coeur d’Alene gives visitors a chance to explore the region’s rich history. For more than 50 years, the museum has collected memorabilia such as books, clothing, weapons, tools, watercraft and cultural items from the Coeur d’Alene Tribe—approximately 8,000 artifacts and 36,300 photographs to date. Additionally, the museum features seven permanent exhibits (soon to be eight) and an annually rotating exhibit. Beyond the traditional exhibits and artifacts, the museum also offers guided tours of the town as well as a monthly lecture series.
