Council Valley Museum
Nearest Community: Council
Region:
Southwestern
Type: Museums
This museum highlights the history of Adams County and the Council
area. This is one of the best small historical museums in the West!
It is located one block south of downtown Council, just across the
corner from the Festival site. Adams County developed when gold was
discovered in Warren and Florence, and a trail along the Weiser
River, through the Council Valley, transported supplies to the mines
from the Boise area. Large, inter-tribal Indian gatherings were once
held in the Council Valley. The name Council came from these
gatherings held in the area because early pioneers believed they
were "council" meetings.
