Bingham County Historical Society Museum

Bingham County Historical Society Museum is located in the John G. Brown mansion, a restored 1905 Southern-style mansion built from local lava rock. The mansion was once thought to be the social center of Blackfoot, Idaho. The 15 rooms, large white columns on the front porch, and sun room show a Southern style of architecture that reflects the architecture found in the Browns’ home state of Tennessee. Exhibits include Native American artifacts, period clothing and furnishings, musical instruments, military uniforms, a doll collection, and numerous historical photos.
