A visit to the Appaloosa Museum
The museum's modern facility includes a newly expanded exhibit area; a theater; a hands-on Kid'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.
Picnic with the Appaloosas
During the summer months visit our outdoor Appaloosa exhibit that runs from mid-May to mid-October. In the outdoor visitor viewing area there are picnic tables, benches and shade trees so you can enjoy a snack while viewing two live Appaloosas.
The Appaloosa Museum is open Monday through Friday 12 PM to 5 PM and Saturday 10 AM to 4 PM (Pacific Time), except for major holidays. We are also open by appointment.
The Museum is designed to provide a self-guided exploration of exhibits.
The museum is free and open to all. A donation of $2 per person or $4 per family is appreciated.
The museum is located on Hwy 8/Moscow-Pullman Hwy just at the state line (next door to Applebee's). Click Here For Map
Groups may arrange a private tour. We ask that you contact the museum at least one week in advance of the visit and that you donate $2 per person for the tour.
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 where students answer questions that help them delve into the history, present and future of the Appaloosa horse. Part of the program is a chance to sit 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, however a donation of $1 per person to help cover the cost of programming would be appreciated. Please contact the museum for more information.
