Town Walking Tour
Residents say Eagle has the state's largest 'museum system,' boasting five restored turn-of-the-20th-century buildings. If you're spending a day here, the best way to see the buildings and learn the town's history is to head to Judge Wickersham's Courthouse (cnr Berry St & 1st Ave) at 09:00, when the Eagle Historical Society commences its three-hour town walking tour.
You'll see the Courthouse, Eagle City Hall, the Log Church, Fort Egbert, Redmen Hall, the Customs Building Museum and Amundsen Park, where a plaque commemorates explorer Roald Amundsen's visit. Tours may be available at other times through special arrangement.

You must sign up for this tour a day in advance in order to clear security.
