Preserving the Past for the Future
Our mission is to preserve the rich heritage of the Monastery of St. Gertrude, Camas Prairie, Snake River, Salmon River, and surrounding areas. View special exhibits, including the stories of the Benedictine sisters, the Nez Perce people, and fascinating local characters such as Polly Bemis and Buckskin Bill. Visit a replica of the original attic museum began by Sister Alfreda Elsensohn, celebrated Idaho historian and foundress of the Historical Museum at St. Gertrude. Join us for our annual Raspberry Social fundraiser, lectures held in March and October, and other fun and educational family events.
The Historical Museum will be closed for the Thanksgiving Day weekend (Thursday, November 28 to Sunday, December 1). We will reopen on Monday, December 2.
