The museum's exhibits explore a number of topics including the area's mining history (the only mine in the western hemisphere where palladium and platinum are mined is found in the Stillwater Mine), the history of the Crow Agency, and the hanging of Frank Robideau, which was the second-to-last legal hanging in the state. The museum also features an archive containing oral histories, photographs, newspapers, and county documents and journals. Many of the records in the archive are available for research. The museum opened in 1993. Visitors can go inside the caboose and shop in the museum store, which sells books and other items related to local history.
