Discover the Gold Rush Glory of Idaho in the historic town of Pierce, home to the state's oldest public building. Founded in 1860 during the gold rush era, Pierce quickly became Idaho's first established mining town, attracting thousands of gold seekers and becoming a bustling hub of activity. The iconic Courthouse Chronicles tell the tale of Pierce's rise to prominence, with the courthouse serving as the seat of government until 1885. Despite the decline post gold rush, Pierce remains a charming town with a rich history, offering visitors a glimpse into its vibrant past through historic sites and museums. The annual '1860 Days' event celebrates Pierce's heritage with a range of activities, including a Dutch oven cookoff and gold panning. Eagle Fun Days in contrast, promises a weekend filled with excitement and entertainment, featuring carnival rides, live music performances, and a thrilling firework show. Community bonding is at the heart of Boise's latest news, with the police cracking down on illegal parking along the Boise River and reminding floaters to respect the residents and rules.
