Pioneer Village
In 1933, the Sons and Daughters of the Idaho Pioneers, aided by the Idaho Statesman, collected two log cabins built in 1863, the year of Boise City's founding. They were moved to Julia Davis Park and our Pioneer Village was established. Nearly 40 years later, the Idaho State Historical Society accepted responsibility for the cabins' preservation and moved them to the present location next to the Historical Museum.
Other Idaho buildings of historic interest have been added since.
Coston Cabin
The 1863 structure illustrates typical construction techniques long practiced in America. The cabin has full-dovetail joinery at the corners. Isaac Coston, a pioneer farmer east of the city, used his cabin for over 50 years.
Mayor Logan Adobe House
Mayor Thomas E. Logan's house, built in 1865, is a rare survivor of the city's adobe period. The interior has been restored and furnished in the style of the 1870s when Logan served four terms as mayor of Boise.
Richard C. Adelmann House
Richard Adelmann operated a saloon on Main Street, was a volunteer fireman and a part-time miner. This building, a reconstruction of his residence, is typical of Boise dwellings of the period 1870-1890.
Lewis and Clark Education Pavilion
Currently under construction (August 2004) using traditional timber framing techniques, the open-air classroom interprets the plants and animals encountered by the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
