Museum of Idaho expecting its millionth visitor soon

IDAHO FALLS — The Museum of Idaho in Idaho Falls is expecting to reach its millionth visitor sometime in the next several weeks.

Marketing Director Britni Storer says the millionth visitor will receive a prize package that includes airfare to Chicago, three nights at a downtown Chicago hotel and passes to five major attractions.

The museum is also celebrating its 10-year anniversary.

Storer says the museum's success has been due to an ability to bring in popular exhibits such as one involving a Tyrannosaurus rex and another about the trip of Lewis and Clark through Idaho.
