MURPHY, Idaho â Founded in 1863, Owyhee County is the second-largest county in the state and is home to only around 11,500 people, but the terrain has enough history to last a lifetime.
This history needs to be preserved, as some artifacts date back hundreds of years.

âSo, the Owyhee County Museum has been here for 60 years and we have been collecting and preserving Owyhee County s history. Everything from mining to ranching, farming, all of that is preserved here on about a one-acre lot. It s important to preserve this stuff because you can experience what life was like 100 years ago,â Museum Director Eriks Garsvo said.
