Another year of school tours on the books! To be part of the Idaho History 4th grade curriculum is such an honor and we love teaching kids about the importance of the site the the importance of knowing history.

That being said...it is a lot of work! Our volunteers (yes VOLUNTEERS) put in an incredible amount of hours, love and time to make sure these happen and they deserve a standing ovation!

2026 Numbers: 18 total days of tours; 77.5 volunteer hours (not counting set up times and cleaned up times for each tour); and approximately 1,131 kids at the site this year!

Thank you to our amazing volunteers who, without them, there would be no site to visit. Thank you: Rich Russell, Marge Russell, Tara Fiscus, Sue Greene, Steve Widmer, Dave Lentz, Sylvia Osterman, Anne Jacobi, Judy Robinson, Jon Douda and Jennifer Hills.
