Central Idaho Cultural Center and Museum

The Central Idaho Cultural Center and Museum in McCall features eight historic buildings constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps under local Finn direction in 1936-37.  This unique site served as the summer home for the Governor and was the headquarters for Southern Idaho Timber Protective Association from 1938-1992.  It now provides a place for cultural and educational presentations and houses a regional museum and historical research archive focusing on prehistoric and historic use of resources such as mining, logging, recreation, fire suppression, and forest management.  Current exhibits include the massive Murray-Corliss engine which powered the Brown Tie and Lumber Company mill from 1940-1983.   In the summer of 1988 an authentic 1935 forest fire lookout and 1914 lookout cabin will be reassembled on the site as permanent exhibits.  The Central Idaho Cultural Center and Museum is located at 1001 State Street in McCall, across the street from the hospital.  It s open Tuesday through Saturday from 10-4 or by appointment, and for special evening programs as announced.
