Saturday, October 11, 6:00 pm-10:00 pm (last admission 9:00 pm).
This event is FREE to Idaho State Historical Society Members! Registration for Idaho State Historical Society Members begins Tuesday, August 26 at 10:00 am. Interested in becoming a member? Visit history.idaho.gov/membership for more info!
Public registration begins Monday, September 1 (Labor Day) at 10:00 am.
Admission is $15 per person. This event is recommended for ages 13+ due to graphic content and some obstacles including low visibility and uneven ground.
Note: This is not a fully accessible tour. Most behind the scenes areas require walking up and down stairs or traversing uneven grounds. Only a limited number of people will be allowed in each area at one time, so lines may form. Arrive early as lines will be cut off at 9:30 pm.
