The "museum" is actually the Wallace Chamber of Commerce. At their site on River Road just south of I-90 they have put together displays of mining machinery, geology and rock displays, some sculpture and a memorial to the firefighters who lost their lives in the
Great Fire of 1910, which burned several towns in northeast Washington, northern Idaho, and western Montana.
One of the displays at the Chamber is this collection of early rock drills. In the collection are drills of every size, shape, colour, style, use and type. Most of the drills in the collection would be from the early twentieth century, with some being nineteenth century items.
