The Appaloosa Museum and Heritage Center in Moscow, Idaho is a little gem for horse lovers. It's got lots of regalia and history of the Nez Perce tribe, primarily responsible for cultivating the breed. It also has a whole wing dedicated to the Appaloosa Horse Club, which has helped preserve that history.

I had forgotten these amazing horses were named for the Palouse region of Washington and Idaho.

The museum has an older mare living on the property, which is kind of cool.
