Don’t go too wild on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. Make sure to join us for Museum Store Sunday!

December 1st the Idaho State Museum is hosting the first annual Museum Store Sunday Vendor Fair in our historic Idaho Room.

The event will feature local artists selling their products and the M Store will be open, offering a 10% discount on everything in the store. Idaho State Historical Society members receive a 15% discount.

Additionally, for every $10 spent in the M Store, shoppers will be entered in a raffle giveaway. The raffle basket is valued at $100-$150! The drawing will be at the end of the day and you don’t need to be present to win.

The Museum will also launch sales of the permanent exhibit’s companion book, Idaho: The Land and its People by Keith Petersen.

The Vendor Fair and M Store are free to the public from 12:00 pm-5:00 pm. Visitors wishing to enter museum exhibition galleries will be charged normal admission fees. You can find the admissions prices here: https://history.idaho.gov/location/museum/

Come find the perfect gift for those that love history, Idaho, unique treasures, or all of the above!

Bring your friends and family for a matinee showing of the 1947 holiday classic Miracle on 34th Street starring Maureen O’Hara in the Idaho Room at the Idaho State Museum.
