Executive Director, Hannah Combs
Hannah first joined the Museum staff in 2020 as the Museum Administrator, and her passion for understanding and celebrating our rural communities has grown ever since. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Costume Design from Ball State University, where she also studied painting and art history. She has volunteered with many Bonner County nonprofits and is a graduate of the Leadership Sandpoint program and the Idaho Change Leader program. 
Hannah is grateful to have landed in North Idaho and to be part of a generous, caring community. In her free time, she can be found stitching up rips in outdoor gear, drawing pictures for the Sandpoint Reader, writing letters, or looking at tiny plants and insects in our beautiful forests.  Hannah believes that curiosity and storytelling bring us closer together, and she uses her diverse skills to make the museum's extensive resources accessible for all.

Outreach Coordinator, Olivia Fee
Olivia has been exposed to the fascinating world of history and its artifacts from the beginning. She grew up in a home that is passionate about history’s mysterious nature and the importance of preserving it. She graduated from the University of Idaho with a Bachelors in Anthropology and an emphasis in history and archaeology. She is also very passionate about storytelling, and loves to relay fascinating historical narratives and express her love for the poetic outdoors. She pursues her love for storytelling through writing, photography, and videography.  It has been such a joy for Olivia as the Outreach Coordinator  to acquaint herself with the collection, assist in its preservation, and share its stories with others in creative ways. When she is not working she is exploring the deep forests, vast lakes, and the wild mountains of North Idaho. She is grateful to be living in such an inspirational place such as Bonner County and working so close with its historical collection.
