What is a town? It’s many things, but above all, it’s a reflection of our desires and needs. To truly understand Boise City’s character, dating back to 1863, we must look beyond the stories of the city’s upper-class founders and politicians.
Instead, we turn our focus to the everyday people—the misunderstood, the misrepresented, and even the vile. While Boise is often portrayed as a quaint and orderly town where pioneers thrived despite the isolation, there’s a darker side to its history that’s often overlooked.
On this tour, I’ll guide you through the shadows of Boise’s past, revealing the macabre, the forgotten, and the unsettling truths that shaped this city.
Remember, what holds true for Boise’s history echoes across America’s past as well.

Starting Point - Constructed in 1869 to assess the claims of miners in the Idaho Territory. This sandstone structure opened in 1871 and became the center of town that was actually on the outskirts of town. We start here, however, for a crazy story about felines!

5.00If you’d enjoy learning about local murders and some historical facts along the way, this is the tour for that - generally +/- 2.25 hours.
Informative and fun but could be a little shorter on a weeknight.

4.00Very interesting history of early Boise. Our guide was very knowledgeable and at times it was a little overwhelming as he had so much information to share. But he was funny and engaging and kept our attention. It could have been a little shorter and I thought we were going to end where we started but we didn’t so we had a long walk back to our car. Overall it was fun and I would recommend.
Fun experience
