What is being built?

The Valley Studio, once again, brings us this week’s picture. Can you tell what building is being built in this picture? Do you know the year it was built? Do you know who worked on the construction? If you have an answer, email doyouremember@meadowcrk.com. If you would like to stay anonymous, just let us know. Last week’s picture was of the Crouch Mortuary. It was across from Joe Vernon’s yard on Kootenai Street and would later become the Ace of Clubs bar and slots.

Agriculture in Boundary County: Dedication program and panel 7

A dedication program was held at the Boundary County Museum on June 9, to present the historic interpretive signs funded in part through an Idaho Humanities Council Grant, featuring the history of farming in the Kootenai Valley and the Bench Land. Guests enjoyed a brief video presentation which included the Merle Olsen ranch on the Deep Creek Loop, Elk Mountain Hops Farm near Porthill, the Dallas Amoth Farm, and Young Living Enterprises at Highland Flats. A few quotable quotes warmed up the crowd and put them into storytelling mode, and attendees were encouraged to relay a story or two from personal experience. These ranged from a history of at least one family farm dating back to the Dust Bowl Days, to humorous anecdotes from a former County Extension Agent. Stories of amusing grain hauling trips, growing up and working on family farms, and various other recollections brought the past into the present with an abundance of laughter and lively discussion. The group then took a field trip to the back entrance of the Museum building to view the newly installed panels.
