Power County Museum Vision
Reflection of the past while looking forward to the future The building was started in 1926 and was completed the following year.

The Power County Historical Society/Museum occupies part of the old Bethany Deaconess Hospital. The museum features exhibits detailing the history and development of Power County. Visitors take a trip back to the era of the moving of the town to make way for the American Falls Dam. We have pamphlets available with the list of National Historic Places in American Falls. You can enjoy a walking tour

of the places that have been moved. Displays at the museum include: A Industry room, medical and home exhibits, art exhibits. A research library and large collection of historical photographs are also available. We also have slideshow presentations that are available to be shown. Mission Statement
Our mission is to preserve, educate and promote understanding and appreciation of the history and cultural heritage of Power County. We will help all ages take time to reflect on the rich heritage of the past while looking forward to the future.
