The Teton Flood Museum is located at 51 North Center Street. This picture does not show the entrance. The museum doors are on the right side of the building. Admission is free, donations acceptable. A film about Rexburg is shown periodically.

Rexburg was struck by a disastrous flood on June 5, 1976, when the Teton Dam broke. A model of the dam before it broke is one of the first things you'll see in the museum. The museum is filled with old things from bathtubs to musical instruments. Not all of the things pertain to the flood, but most survived the catastrophe.

A cabin scene, found in the museum, portrays the life of the first settlers in Rexburg. With dirt floors, and a tin bucket for a tub, life was rough. The winters in Rexburg are very cold, so large wood cooking stoves did not overheat the home in the winter, but for summer, a cook house was used. The cook house consisted of one room with a stove, an ice chest, and counter space.
