Property Description
Located in the heart of downtown Montpelier, Idaho, the legendary Butch Cassidy Museum offers a rare opportunity to own one of the most recognized historic attractions in the American West. Housed inside the original Bank of Montpelier - the first chartered bank in Idaho and the last standing bank known to have been robbed by Butch Cassidy and the infamous Wild Bunch Gang in 1896 - this iconic property is rich in history, tourism appeal, and authentic Old West character.This one-of-a-kind museum has become a major tourism destination for Southeast Idaho, drawing thousands of visitors annually and generating substantial foot traffic for surrounding local businesses and the downtown Montpelier community. The museum is widely known throughout the region and featured in numerous travel and historical publications highlighting Idaho's Wild West heritage. Included in the sale are the museum displays, historical exhibits, artifacts, memorabilia, gift shop merchandise, and themed inventory, creating a true turnkey business opportunity. Visitors experience authentic history firsthand while walking the same original floors Butch Cassidy once crossed during the famous 1896 robbery. The building still features the original historic bank vault and vault door, one of the museum's most photographed and talked-about attractions. The original vault is currently owned by Zion's Bank and remains in the building under an existing lease/use agreement. One display item will be excluded from the sale. In addition to its established museum operation, the property presents exciting potential for expanded tourism ventures, including a unique Airbnb or boutique overnight experience centered around the building's authentic Old West history. With its iconic reputation, historic atmosphere, and steady visitor traffic, the property offers exceptional opportunities for creative hospitality and destination-based income. The property has been carefully restored to preserve its 1890s character while operating as a successful museum and retail destination. Annual events, historical reenactments, and continued tourism growth have helped establish the museum as a staple attraction for travelers visiting Bear Lake, the Oregon Trail corridor, and historic Southeast Idaho. This is more than just a commercial property - it is a chance to own and continue the legacy of one of the most famous outlaw stories in American history. Square footage figures are provided as a courtesy estimate only and were obtained from Bear Lake County. Buyer is advised to obtain an independent measurement.
