History
History
The museum opened in 1970, in the Brigham City Community Center building. The building was planned to be a community center, but plans were underway to include a museum in the basement portion of the museum before it opened. In 1969 a precursor to the museum was briefly open on Main Street, celebrating the centennial of the completion of the transcontinental railroad. In the early years, exhibitions changed monthly and included a wide variety of exhibitions, generally drawn from personal collections of board members or friends of the museum. Exhibition areas included art, history, and natural history. In 2009, a satellite museum, the Box Elder Museum of Natural History, opened in the King building, and moved to the Hervin Bunderson Center in 2010. In 2014, the museum won the American Association for State and Local History Leadership in History Award of Merit for the project Outside the Homeland: The Intermountain Indian School. The project included a 2012 exhibition of the same name, an online version of the exhibition, oral histories with former students of the school, and public programs on the school.
