Established in 1917 with the donation of the unique taxidermy collection of Charles Carr, the museum's permanent collection includes a wide range of artifacts, documents and rare books.  Native American objects, a military collection of uniforms and arms, and an important selection of mounted birds are just some of the highlights of the permanent collection.
