This is not your typical museum. The museum was born from a scouting project which continues its proud history to this day. For more than sixty-five years, the museum has hosted hundreds of thousands of scouts traveling through the area. With Koshare performances, overnight experiences, and museum tours, the Koshare Museum will leave a lasting impression for your group.
