This guided tour will highlight the history of the iconic Boise Depot and take guests through the progression of local rail service, from the railroad’s arrival in Boise and construction of the Depot to its years of operation and renovation. See the building inside and out, and learn how restoration efforts in the 1990s preserved the building for future generations. The tour finishes with an up close look at the bells in the 96-foot tower.
