Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum (MKIM) was founded in 1990, to serve a vital role in preserving and promoting Native American history, culture and traditions. MKIM has been recognized as one of the Top Ten Native American Museums in the country, and is one of the only museums in the state exclusively dedicated to Native peoples, past and present. The museum features seven galleries that celebrate the diversity of Native cultures across the continent. Implicit in our programming is a respect for responsible environmental stewardship.
More than a collection of world-class artifacts, our 12-acre museum campus features Medicine Woods nature trails and the Betsy Janeway Arboretum, with a collection of more than 85 species of trees.
Our events highlight vibrant contemporary Native culture, elevating Native voices, preserving traditions, and celebrating cultural contributions. Events like our annual Intertribal Powwow provide a vital platform for traditional arts, featuring drumming, dancing, storytellers, cultural interpreters, and craft activities. Other exciting events, including exhibits, workshops, and festivals, occur throughout the year, and are promoted on the museum's Events page.
A visit to Mt Kearsarge Indian Museum will transform your understanding of Native peoples throughout North America. Detailed information is available on the website to help you plan your visit.
We hope you can join us!
