New Exhibit Now Open!
"Bonneville County, 1911-2011: A Centennial Celebration"
The Museum of Idaho is thrilled to open its new exhibit,
"Bonneville County, 1911-2011: A Centennial Celebration".
This display is housed in the bottom floor of the Carnegie Library as part of the
Museum's in-house displays.
This exhibit was put together with memorable pieces from the Museum of Idaho's own
collections department, which on its own consists of over 20,000 artifacts important
to the culture and history of this area. In addition, this display hosts several
items on loan from the Bonneville County Heritage Association. "A Centennial Celebration"
exhibit boasts treasured artifacts representing local businesses, the Idaho National
Laboratory, transportation, war efforts, local schools, agriculture, recreation, religion,
and civic entities. The organizations, industries, people and stories within this display
truly embody what Bonneville County is and how far it's come in one hundred years.
"This display is truly a trip down memory lane," exclaims Museum of Idaho's Executive
Director David Pennock. "Whether you are a visitor to the area, or have grown up in
Bonneville County, this exhibit will certainly stimulate wonderful conversation."
