The Blaine County Historical Museum aims to inform patrons about the rich and colourful past of the region. The structure that houses the Museum is as old as 1882 C.E., and holds a history of its own as a liquor shop, a movie theatre, an armoury during the American-Spanish war, and finally, a Museum. With various artefacts and plaques on display, you would get a glimpse into the affluent culture of Hailey that shaped the lives and livelihoods of the residents. Visit the Museum to familiarize with the occupation of mining that was prevalent, and a biography of eminent personalities that have emerged from the Wood River Valley, and the lifestyles and livelihoods that have imparted an identity to the region.
