Idaho History

Did you know that the Fun Spot wasn't Boise's first amusement park?

If you’re a little burnt out with the standard issue “Famous Potatoes” plates there are over 30 specialty plates that you dress your ride up with.

It’s no secret that the first numbers and letters on each standard plate indicate which county the vehicle is registered in.

If we had to choose Seven Wonders of Idaho, what would they be? There are a lot of great landmarks and natural beauty to pick from.

We have so many regrets about parting with our childhood coin collection. So many regrets!

Every state has a couple of themed quarters. We have two very different quarters with real meaning. See close up pictures and why Idaho's quarters show what they do and the meaning behind them.

The underground tunnels are mostly used by government and state employees. The tunnels go under streets, sidewalks and buildings mostly in and around the capitol in downtown Boise. Most of the original paintings are dated from 1986, 1987, and 1988. The original art has been hiding from the public in these underground tunnels for 35 years.

Alright, where is the real OG in Idaho? The original? Where did it all start for the gem state? First a little background before we get there.

A few weeks ago, we stumbled across a “short” on YouTube about an “Abandoned School Found in Idaho.

The Old Idaho Penitentiary is well known and often named the most haunted spot in the gem state. After the second riots broke out and a massively destructive fire in the kitchen and dining area in 1973 the prison closed after housing some of the most dangerous criminals in the world for over 100 years. See the ins and outs of this historic, iconic and haunted piece of Idaho.
