Top Idaho Walking Tours

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.
