The Barnard-Stockbridge Collection of photographs spans over 70 years of the Coeur d’Alene mining district. More than 200,000 images, many portraits such as these, capture life in the region dating back to 1894. Stop by the Museum to take in this splendid collection, just one of many permanently preserved alongside our newest displays from Diane Reifer & Micah Gimlin.
