Idaho History

Believe it or not Idaho history is not just about potato's it was pretty interesting actually lots about pioneers, Lewis and Clark, Indians, and GUNS lots of history with them!

These are artifacts recovered in the Snake River in Murtaugh, ID in 1938. They were from a group of fur trappers that lost 5 boats in the River in 1811. So over 125 years later they were found, crazy! They are an axe, beaver trap and gun handle.
They had a display of old toys, these were some toys I remember my mom talking about playing with, Jacks, Marbles, Original Mickey Mouse Doll and Kewpie Dolls.
This is for you mom, this is a sweater worn at Boise High back in the day. Did you wear sweaters like these?
The original state flag flown over the capital for many many years. This is the only flag designed by a women in the nation.

After a long day exploring the museum, Dani was playing with B in a "Parade". Brooklyn was in heaven to have all those toys around her and get a free ride.
