The museum presents the history of Native Americans and settlers of the area. It houses a range of exhibits, from those depicting the Sheepeater Indians to various cultural artifacts to displays on ranch life, natural history, and the Tie Hacks. Tie hacks were men who cut trees around Dubois for 10 million railroad ties in the years between 1914 and 1946. Artifacts from this logging era and mementos from the lumberjack’s gambling houses are also shown.
