The Rails and Trails Museum is operated by the Bear Lake County Historical Society and houses many histories, pictures, relics and artifacts from the pioneer era, including the Bear Lake County DUP and railroad exhibits, along with many other loaned and donated materials, and other local artifacts. The Rails and Trails Museum is housed on the lower floor of the National Oregon/California Trail Center. There is no charge for admission to the Rails and Trials Museum, but donations are acceptable.
