Located in the heart of downtown Sioux City, this free local history museum features large, colorful exhibits, interactive displays, and much more.
Visitors will discover the “Spirit of Sioux City” through a lively 12-minute orientation film in the ornate “corn palace theatre.” A variety of hands-on experiences are available including the award-winning “Innovation I-Wall” and “The Big Dig,” which replicates an active fossil dig site.
Along with our dynamic permanent exhibits, a variety of temporary Exhibits feature local history interpreted through artifacts from our collections or private collections.
