Welcome to the Bingham County Historical Society!
Bingham County Historical Society is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing the history of Bingham County, Idaho. The Society operates both the Bingham County Historical Society Museum and the Bingham County Historical Society Archives.
Additionally, the Society regularly hosts public events to educate the community on the history of Bingham County.

We invite anyone interested in the history of Bingham County to join the Bingham County Historical Society. The Society publishes a quarterly newsletter. Our collection is available to the public at the Archives and some information is available online.
We also wish to express our appreciation to the Idaho State Historical Society for a community enhancement grant which has made updates to this website possible.
