Idaho Museum & Center for Service


Welcome to the Idaho Museum and Center for Service
Honoring 250 Years of Service—and the Stories Still to Come
​
The spirit of service has always been at the heart of Idaho’s communities—from the earliest caretakers of this land to today’s neighbors helping neighbors. As America prepares to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, we invite you to join us in highlighting the rich legacy of service that shapes our state and inspires future generations.
​
The Idaho Museum and Center for Service is part of the national 250 & Beyond initiative, working locally to celebrate and honor service in ALL its forms—past, present, and future. From small acts of kindness to lifelong commitments of leadership and volunteerism, these are the stories that connect us, strengthen our communities, and call us to action.
​
Whether you’re a school, library, nonprofit, civic group, or passionate individual, you can help elevate Idaho’s stories of service. Together, we can create inspiring, inclusive, and enduring exhibits and programs that reflect the diversity and generosity of Idaho’s people.
