Pile of Rocks?

| June 30, 2016 1:00 AM

What appears to be just a pile of rocks, really isn’t.

These can be found all around the county. Do you know what this is and how it is used? If you have an answer, please email doyouremember@meadowcrk.com. If you would like to stay anonymous, just let us know.

Last week we shared a picture of Monk Shelman and Slim Allured with some pretty big fish. Grace Schuon Leidt was the only one who could identify these men. The picture was taken in 1957.

Slim and his wife Lucy opened the Allured Sport Shop in downtown Bonners Ferry in 1941. It would be open for 21 years. Both Slim and Lucy were known for their ability to tie fishing flies which were sent all over the United States.

Your Boundary County Historical Society and Museum, 7229 Main, Bonners Ferry, Idaho sponsors this column.

During the summer, the Museum is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday through Saturday.

To help maintain the buildings, a small entrance fee is charged at the door. It is $2 per person or $5 per family. There is no charge for those under 14 years old or for the Boundary County Historical Society members.

Visit the website at www.boundarycountymuseum.org for a list of the latest events; follow us on our Facebook page; or give us a call at 208-267-7720.

This Saturday, July 2nd, will be the first “Free Saturday” of the season, at the museum. Come down to visit and see what it is all about and pay no entrance fee. A great opportunity to share the history of the county with the whole family!

Thank you to Vic and Donna White for sponsoring this day. See you this Saturday!
