Koshare Indian Museum

The museum exhibits more than 3,000 artifacts representing diverse tribal groups across North America, including traditional clothing, pottery, and ceremonial items.

Founded in 1955 by Boy Scout Troop 222, the museum began as a repository for Native American art and cultural objects collected during scout activities.

The Koshare Indian Dancers perform traditional ceremonies throughout the year in the museum's kiva, which features Native American architectural elements.

The museum welcomes visitors daily from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, except Tuesdays and Thursdays, with admission prices of $5 for adults and $3 for students.

The building contains the largest self-supported log roof in the world, spanning 60 feet and constructed with 620 logs weighing over 40 tons.
