The Mountain Home Historical Society focuses on preserving the rich heritage of Mountain Home, ID
Housed in a former 1908 Carnegie Public Library on the National Register of Historic Places. The Mountain Home Historical Museum houses artifacts on mining, agriculture and railroad in the area and celebrates the cultural heritage of the community, including Basque, Chinese and Native American. We feature local family history luncheons on the 1st Thursday of each month.
"The museum is housed in the city’s original Carnegie Library Building, built in 1908 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There are many interesting historical artifacts in the museum, including documents related to the origins of the county, relics from the county’s Native American period, the mining and logging era, and the sheep, cattle and agricultural industry. The museum is a repository for valuable historic research tools, including transcribed narratives, journals and biographies of early county pioneers; school annuals; county records of births, marriages, court proceedings, etc.; and books written about the history of the county."
