Museums, and Ghost Towns | |
| Zoo | Located in Julia Davis Park next to the Rose Garden, the Boise Zoo has a number of very nice exhibits. |
| Historical Museum | Located in Julia Davis Park, this museum has a very nice collection of early Idaho history. |
| Art Museum | Next door to the historical museum is the Boise Art museum. |
| Idaho Botanical Gardens | Adjacent to the Idaho Territorial Prison, the Idaho Botanical Garden is a living museum providing visitors with a stimulating experience in nature. |
| Idaho Territorial Prison | This old west prison would look right at home in the middle ages and was in operation until 1973! |
| Old Fort Boise Replica | Located in Parma near the site of the original Fort Boise, this replica gives a feel for what an old west fort was really like. |
| Idaho City | A short drive up State Highway 21 is Idaho City. It is believed that more gold came out of this region than the entire state of Alaska. |
| Silver City |
A bit harder to get to than Idaho City, but amazingly, it neither burned down,
went away, or changed very much from the way it was a hundred years ago.
If you love old west ghost towns, a trip to Silver City is well worth the effort.
(Road conditions vary). |
