About Boise Basin Museum
The Boise Basin Museum is housed in a historic building that was originally the Idaho City Post Office, built in 29 days after a fire in 1867. It served as a post office until 1910, also selling goods and operating a circulating library. Today, the museum features a working replica of a mining operation, pictures of Idaho City pioneers, and artifacts from the gold rush era. It offers insight into 1860s life and gold mining machinery.
