Ensconced in a historic two story building, the Boundary County Museum has a large collection of artefacts and machines pertinent to the history of the Bonners Ferry area. For example, in the collection is Bonner Ferry's first fire truck, a 1923 REO which went into service in the town in 1925, a ca. 1915 Case 9-18A steel wheeled tractor, a ca. 1933 Monarch garden tractor, two railway hand cars, one a velocipede, and a scroll saw cut wooden model of Amiens Cathedral in Northern France.
As well, the collection contains many vintage photos and many artefacts associated with everyday life in Bonners Ferry a century and more ago.
The cost to tour the museum is a reasonable $2 per visitor or $5 per family. The museum has recently been expanded from one large room to three, with the addition of many new displays.
