Idaho Historical Museum
Located along Julia Davis Park is yet another enjoyable attraction. The Idaho Historical Museum, founded in 1907, is the single most visited museum in Boise. Exhibits include a variety of eclectic and diverse topics. Based on Idaho’s rich history with Native Americans, Basques, and Chinese, each exhibit thrills and entertains. Currently, the Idaho Historical Museum is housing an exhibit titled, "The Brotherhood" and entails the "society with secrets", a.k.a. the Freemasons. Rare folk art and the history of Freemasons within Idaho is exposed. The exhibit of "Brotherhood" is on display running from May 24 to September 17, 2008 and the Idaho Historical Museum is opened from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Tuesday-Saturday and from 1:00 pm to 5:00pm Sunday.

Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or museum:
“By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of nature—for instance in a biological survey of evolution—we are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.”
—Owen Barfield (b. 1898)
“I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
...
I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
