This museum is by far the best museum in Idaho, with genuine and well-maintained artifacts on display that educate people on the history of the county and the state. More importantly, the staff here are extremely friendly and knowledgeable, all eager to share their museum with visitors. It may not have a state-of-the-art building like the State Museum, but is a much better museum nonetheless. Kudos to the young museum director and his enthusiastic staff! We will certainly bring our family and friends to this awesome museum in the future!

I love history, and especially love museums. Well visiting, it was just so hard to process how much everyone had to go through, to get to where we are at in society right now. This is still a small little museum, for a small town, in a smaller part of Idaho, but I still loved it. It shows so much more about gold mining, as well as how they were able to get across the planes. Truly remarkable place, and I'm so happy I had the chance to be here

Very well laid out county museum. Loved the displays, care, and creativity that went in to making these tidbits of history come to life. Thank yous to contributors and sponsors.

Fabulous location... Great museum. Multiple craft fairs and bazaars... Check it out

We have visited multiple times every year for the past 4 years, and see/learn something new every time. The folks that run it are absolutely amazing and friendly (even with our young kids running around excited). Tonight we went to their Country Christmas and had a great time. Good food, fun entertainment (Model T rides, and a trip in a horse drawn wagon, live music) and just had a wonderful time. Thank you to each of the people that work so hard to make events like tonight so memorable.

Had a delightful weekend in Murphy for Lizard Butte Kennel Club scent work trial. Visited museum ... incredible display of bits and spurs and much about Owyhee County history. Took several couple mile walks into surrounding desert and saw many wildflowers in bloom.

Very interesting and varied, many exhibits about the history of Silver City.

Fantastic musuem with good caretaking, great artifacts, and well-written historical posts. I fully recommend shopping if even for a short while. Friendly curators to help guide you and a decent sized gift shop.

Get out and explore our OLD WEST history at OWYHEE OUTPOST DAYS. Cattle drive, horned toad races, music, dancing and much more. Great fun for all ages and so o educational. Go, have fun🐎🐂

A very interesting museum. Not very bit but has more history here then some larger museums that I've been too. The caretaker was very friendly as well.

Great museum for such a small town. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit. It's free to enter, but they ask for a $5 donation.
