Captain John Mullan Museum

About Us:

Established in the old Liberty Theater, this museum illustrates the history of Mullan with exhibits of historical furnishings, vintage clothing, photographs, newspapers, mining relics, and local school, sports, firemen, and drug store memorabilia. The museum features information on the building of the Mullan Road from 1859-1862 which connected Fort Benton, Montana to Fort Walla Walla, Washington. Swimming in an Olympic-size pool and food service are available across the street, and a park with a children's play area is adjacent. The Eastern Trailhead of the 72-mile Trail of the Coeur d' Alenes is located one block south of the museum. The Hiawatha Trail is located 6 miles east of Mullan.
