The Museum of North Idaho is offering more than just a moving sale — it’s offering the public a rare chance to own pieces of local history. As the museum transitions to its new home in McEuen Park, its former location near City Park is being cleared out ahead of scheduled demolition in June. In the process, a treasure trove of historical artifacts, memorabilia, and vintage materials is now up for grabs.
