  Fort Hall Replica & Museums
The fort hall replica is a wonderful display of period lifestyle and replicates one of the northwest’s earliest fur trading forts. On the same location as the fort is a wonderful park area with shelter and stage for Dutch oven dinners, mountain men presentations and dances. Adjacent to the fort complex is our zoo comprising of animals native to the area including grizzly bear and buffalo.

The Shoshone-bannock tribe hosts a marvelous museum and gaming hall less than 10 miles away. The museum curator Rosemary Devinney is always a joy to listen to as she shares her native culture. And as a reminder - Sacagawea was a Lemhi Shoshone and her descendants still live on this reservation.
