The local historical society, founded in 1961, opened the Elmore County Museum in a vacated Carnegie Library building in 1977. Built in 1908, the museum building is listed on the National Register of Historical Places. Among the artifacts displayed inside are mining, agriculture, and railroad implements. The museum also focuses on the cultural heritage of the community, including Basque, Chinese, and Native American legacies.

The museum offers exhibits.

On January 8, 1861, the Washington Legislature established Shoshone County and made Pierce the county seat. By that summer, thousands of gold seekers poured into the Nez Perce country, which had been set aside as a reservation in 1855, and the town became a boisterous mining town in what was then Washington Territory. At first, the county commissioners met and court proceedings were held in rented rooms. In 1862, Shoshone County built a courthouse at Pierce. The Pierce Courthouse served governmental needs until 1885, when the county seat was moved to Murray.

In 1923 the Franklin Pioneer Association bought the old Franklin Cooperative Mercantile Building, located on Main Street one block east o fU.S. Highway 91, to use as a museum. After running out of room in that facility, the Association deeded a building lot to the State of Idaho located adjacent to and west of the Mercantile Building, hoping that a new building would be constructed on the site. The legislature appropriated funds for construction of a rustic log hall, which was built in 1936–37 from timber provided by the Forest Service and labor by Civilian Conservation Corps crews. The Idaho State Historical Society has been responsible for maintaining the Relic Hall building since its construction.
