Plan A Visit

A VISIT TO THE APPALOOSA MUSEUM:

The museum's modern facility includes a newly expanded exhibit area; a theater; a hands-on children's area; a library featuring books, magazines, and videos; and a large gift shop. Exhibits themes range from the early evidence of spotted horses in art and literature, to the relationship between the Appaloosa and the Nez Perce Indians, to the highlights of the modern Appaloosa Horse Club. Currently, the museum is installing several new exhibits including a timeline of the Appaloosa Horse Club from 1938 to present and a display of Appaloosa model horses in our children's area.

HOURS:
The Appaloosa Museum is open Monday through Friday 10 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 10 AM to 4 PM (Pacific Time). The museum is designed to provide a self guided exploration of exhibits.

ADMISSION:
The museum is free and open to all. We do suggest a donation of $2 per person or $4 per family.

DIRECTIONS:
The museum is located on Hwy 8/Moscow-Pullman Hwy just at the state line (next door to Applebee's).

ADULT TOURS:
Groups may arrange a private tour with George Hatley, "Mr. Appaloosa", himself. We ask that you contact the museum at least one week in advance of the visit and that you donate $2 per person on the tour.

SCHOOL-AGE GROUPS:
The Appaloosa Museum welcomes school groups, home-schoolers, and youth groups such as 4H and scouts. Our standard program lasts around one hour and includes a short lecture followed by an exploration of the museum in small groups. With clipboard in hand, students answer questions that help them delve into the history, present and future of the Appaloosa horse. Included in the program is a chance to try sitting on several types of saddles including a sidesaddle. We are also most willing to tailor a program to meet your specific needs. All children's programs are free. Please contact the museum for more information.
