Attractions

ore Silver has been mined here in the last 130 years than anyplace on the planet, over 1.3 billion ounces and counting—dwarfing the famous Comstock Lode. In fact, if you add in all the precious and base metals mined locally, more than $7 billion worth of mineral wealth has been produced from beneath these mountains. Wallace offers several attractions telling the engaging story of the Silver Capital of the World.

T

he Sierra Silver Mine Tour

This entertaining tour is the closest thing to working underground itself.

Retired miners take you underground to tour a real silver mine.

You’ll see them work the mining equipment while they answer your questions and give you an authentic “that’s the way it is” story of mining.

The Sierra Silver Mine opened in 1900 and was worked for several decades. The mine was turned into a subterranean classroom in the 1970s, teaching Wallace High School students mining techniques and mine safety vocational courses.

Today you can visit the Sierra Silver Mining Tour in the Shoshone Building at the corner of Fifth and Bank. (It’s open May through September). Their distinctive trolley leaves

every half hour starting at 10 am to take you to the mine as well Wallace’s historic district. Along the way drivers

Just west of the Wallace Visitor Center (I-90 Exit 61) is a free outdoor museum created by Mining Heritage, Inc. The layout depicts the evolution of local mining from the days of hand tools to the modern techniques and mechanization used today. Hands on exhibits and new interpretative signs guide you into what has been a tedious, physically demanding occupation.

Mining Heritage Exhibition, Inc. is a tax-exempt 501(c) (3) organization. It created this outdoor museum with donations and volunteer labor. Additional information on this project can be obtained by writing to MHE, Box 469, Wallace, Idaho, 83873.

The Wallace Depot Museum T

Attractions

ake a trip back in time to when railroads were the kings of transportation with a visit to Wallace’s iconic Northern Pacific Railroad Depot Museum.

Built in 1901, the château style depot houses the museum and gift shop, and is a prime example of the grand architecture and historical heritage of Wallace. In 1976, while still in business as a railroad station, the depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

As you enter the museum, you’ll step into a re-creation of an early working railroad station.

Exhibits tell the rich history of railroading in the Coeur d’Alene Mining District and the depot itself.

Railroads have been at work in the Coeur d’Alene silver mining region since 1887. The last train to service the area was July 15, 1992.

In 1986, due to the construction of I-90, the building was moved approximately 200 feet across the Coeur d’Alene River to its current location.

Every year in May Wallace celebrates the anniversary of the Depot’s move, the day before Mother’s Day, with the Depot Day Classic Automobile Show.

Open April thru October.(208) 752-0111 npdepot.org

Travel back to Wallace’s past in Mining Museum

10 2017-2018

A

cclaimed as one of Idaho’s finest museums and research facilities and featured on the Travel Channel’s Mysteries at the Museum, the Wallace District Mining Museum has as complete a history of the area as can be found.

Open year round the museum provides a fascinating history of the region’s explosive past.

Through a series of hands-on, imaginative exhibits and 20 minute video, visitors learn of the 1880s gold rush, discovery of the world’s richest silver deposits, and the 1890s labor strife that led to mass incarcerations, murders and assassination of an Idaho Governor.

Extensive exhibits on the Great Fire of 1910 and the Sunshine Mine Disaster are featured as well, as are a myriad of artifacts from area’s history, including a vast photographic collection of life in the mining camps and established towns.

(Researchers can browse through the facility’s massive digital archives and extensive photo catalogue).

The Smithsonian-based Mine Experience Exhibit features a mock up of underground mines, and explains the risks and rewards of mining treasure miles below the surface.

In the mock tunnels find a host of rare artifacts, including the only known complete steam-driven diamond drill in existence.

Among the most popular attractions

Top: labor strife a common theme.

Center: Wallace miners go to work (1908) Bottom: Dante’s Peak exhibit featured are the Dante’s Peak and Heaven’s Gate exhibits. (Both were shot here). Several props from the films are on display.

ou’ll be screaming Bonsai! Geronimo! Oh My God! or equally exuberant exclamations once flying down Wallace’s newest adventure, the Silver Streak Zipline.

The zipline offers ten different courses. Each has “dual zips,” allowing the option of flying in the prone or “superhero” position with speeds up to 60 mph (or slower for the less wild at heart). It’s fun for the entire family. The zipline’s office and welcome center is conveniently located in downtown Wallace at 516 Pine Street. Reservations are recommended; call (208) 556-1690.

Treasures at the Crystal Gold Mine

ust nine miles west of Wallace lies the Crystal Gold Mine & RV Park.

Prospectors first discovered a gold bearing vein there in 1879 and mined it for three years before abandoning the

site. The mine was lost for over a hundred years. In 1991, the then owner saw water seeping out of the hillside. Hoping it was a spring, he dug into the bank and partially uncovered the portal. In 1996 the Continued p.12

Center of the Universe?

The Center of the Universe.

Well, it could be. It began as a tongue in cheek protest to federal overreach.

You could call it a symbolic act of defiance from a tiny David thumbing a nose at indifferent Goliaths of federal agencies and their seemingly absurd bureaucratic logic.

In 2004 the town declared a manhole cover at the center of Bank and Sixth Sts. to be the Center of the Universe.

The manhole cover is now adorned with symbols of the great mines of the area. People come from around the planet, and perhaps, the Universe, to visit the spot and join in the fun.

Cataldo Mission, Nine Mile Cemetery are must sees for visitors to region

So much so Wallace was recently honored by True West Magazine as one of the top ten historic towns in the West.

Get Higher on Stairs

2017-2018 15

G

etting high has a whole different meaning in Wallace. Folks do it here by climbing our extensive and scenic stair system. Years ago, people climbed the stairs of Wallace to get from one residential street to the next on the steep south hills.

Over the years, the stairs became dilapidated and overgrown with trees and brush. In 2011, the City, volunteers, businesses and historic preservation groups joined forces to begin an ongoing restoration of the staircases.

Several stairways have now been replaced or restored. Most stairways are 100 feet long and have 76 to 84 steps, in-

cluding those with landings and benches.

Road to Riches, Burke Canyon

Burke, Gem, Frisco, Black Bear, Yellow Dog—all legendary names of towns filled with stories of Bonanza and Bust and all a short drive up Burke Canyon Road at Exit 62 off I-90 at Wallace (Idaho State Rte 4).

On your way up the canyon see the massive ruins of the Frisco Mill, blown apart by striking workers in the 1890s mining war, as well as those still inhabited mining towns alongside river and within a couple of miles of each other.

Spectacular scenery and views along with frequent sightings of deer and Elk abound the whole seven mile drive to the once bustling town of Burke.

Set in canyon so narrow that the mines, mills, rail, road and even a hotel had to share the same thoroughfare.

Alpine skiing can be enjoyed at Lookout Pass and Silver Mountain ski areas from November through April. Lookout Pass is one of the first ski runs to open each winter in the Pacific Northwest.

Both mountains are groomed, but the powder enthusiast can often find uncut trails and spring “corn snows” that are very skiable. Both areas are within a short drive of Wallace.

Snowmobiling trails are groomed from mid-December until early March. Fourteen trails are available ranging from 12 to 65 miles in length.

Snowmobiling is allowed on the streets of Wallace (weather and snowpack permitting). Information: Coeur d’Alene

River Ranger District at (208) 783-2363 or Idaho Parks & Recreation, (208) 682-3814.

Trail information available at the Historic Wallace Chamber of Commerce. For snowmobile road in conditions Wallace please email wallacesnowconditions@ gmail.com for more information.

In the movies...

2017-2018 33

Wallace has had its flirtation with Hollywood over the years, beginning with silent films in the 1920s and as the backdrop of major motion pictures in the 1980s and 1990s. It was the birthplace and childhood home of movieland star Lana Turner. Here are movies filmed in and around here.

Dante’s Peak (1996)

Dante’s Peak was an adventure film from Universal Pictures starring Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton shot largely in Wallace and nearby communities.

Released in 1997, the movie depicts how a fictional Dante’s Peak town (Wallace) gets obliterated by a malignant volcano of the same name.

Each year thousands of Dante’s Peak fans flock to Wallace. Props from the film can be seen at the Wallace District Mining Museum including the Dante’s Peak Museum sign and prop styrofoam “bricks” used in the disaster scenes

Available for sale locally at the Wallace District Mining Museum, The Northern Pacific Railroad Museum, and Sierra Silver Mine tour.

Heaven’s Gate (1981)

Heaven’s Gate, a western epic from director Michael Cimono and starring among others Kris Kristofferson, Christopher Walken, Jeff Bridges, Willem Dafoe, John Hurt and Mickey Rourke, contains footage filmed in downtown Wallace in June and July of 1979. Parts of Wallace were made to resemble an old West town with dirt streets and wood sidewalks.

The United Artists film bombed at the box office when it was first released in 1981, helping to bankrupt that studio. A director’s cut was released in 2012, however, and that version made the BBC’s list of best 100 American films -- referring to it as a “modern masterpiece.”Memorabilia from the film can be seen at the Wallace mining and depot museums.

Frivolous Sal (1925)

The action scenes in the 1925 silent film were filmed in the mines around Wallace. Mine mills, tunnels, shafts and flumes were featured in this action “epic.”

The Downtown Walking Tour

A Walk through History W

allace is unique because of its fine collection of turn-of-the-century buildings, some designed by nationally known architects. The entire town is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and whole blocks in the business district have remained virtually intact for a hundred years or more.

On your tour, look for architectural features such as cast-iron cornices and pilasters, terra cotta trim and The Jameson decorative glass. Some Historic Wallace Preservation buildings still have Society the old glass windows photo with irregular surfaces.

Records occasionally conflict on construction dates; in these instances the most likely dates are listed. Historic Wallace was destroyed by fire on July 27, 1890.

Only two structures survived. The surrounding forests were also spared. Reconstruction began immediately. This time predominately masonry structures were built for better fire resistance. Three of these 1890 vintage struc-

725 RIVER ST. MULLAN, ID (208)744-1444

tures still grace the corners of Sixth and Bank streets. Start the tour at the Depot.

1. Northern Pacific Railroad Depot Museum (1902). The depot was finished in 1902. The elegant brick and concrete edifice, “ornate and picturesque,” was built in the château style. It is a reflection of the tastes of the company and the times. The concrete was made from tailings from the concentrators of major Coeur d’Alene Mining District mines. The finest depot of its type in the Pacific Northwest, this structure was moved from its original location on the north side of the river in 1986. Recipient of Idaho Preservation Council’s Orchid Award.

2.Jameson Hotel(1907), 304 6th St.. Built for Theodore Jameson to replace the frame structure of the same name and location, this pair of concrete block three-story buildings originally had matching cornices. The facade has been painted. The structure has been restored with vintage furnishings indoors and out, and the interior is designed to make the two buildings function as one.

This work earned owners the Idaho Preservation Council 1979 Orchid Award.

Maggie, the ghost, is a regular customer of the Jameson. The Jameson’s original wood structure was constructed in 1889.

3. Sweets Hotel (1907), 308 6th St. 4. Camia Bldg. (1914), 218 6th ST. Three-story red brick building with an overhanging metal cornice at the top and a somewhat narrower one between the first and second floors.

district.

5. Kelly Bldg. (1891), 212 6th St. Believed to be the oldest wood-frame structure in the business district. This two-story hotel with a flat roof has a projecting wooden cornice supported by wooden brackets. A smaller cornice separates the first and second floors on the front. In past years, the Kelly Building also had “female boarding” accommodations upstairs and a hardware store on the ground floor. Currently the home of the Sixth Street Melodrama & Theater.

6. Capt. John Mullan Statue. Located north end of 5th Street near the River. Captain Mullan engineered this route through the Bitterroot Mountains. Work on the military road began in 1859 and was finished in 1862. A path 25-feet wide was cut through the forest. Many bridges were built across the South Fork of the Coeur d’Alene Banard Bldg. River. By 1866, the Mullan Road had been Historic Wallace Preservation reconstructed, and the route would play a prinSociety photo ciple role in the Coeur d’Alene Mining District’s development. Today, Interstate 90 and State Highway 95A follow the Mullan Trail.

7. Wallace Carnegie Library (1910-1911),River and 5th Sts. Its Renaissance Neoclassic design is found as a template on many small town Carnegie libraries. It is a portico live bay brick building with a low-pitched roof. Note the three-inch thick heavy entry doors adorned with prismatic leaded glass reproduced from the original designs recaptured during the restoration of 1999.

8. Elks Temple No. 331 (1924), 419 Cedar St..

9. Sears MacDonald Bldg. (1905), 500 Cedar St. Built to be the Hope Hospital in 1905, this building later was the Morrow Retail Stores headquarters for most of the 20th Century. Morrow’s was established approximately in 1880. At one time there were Morrow’s in 17 north Idaho communities. The store carried everything from washing machines to groceries. It had quality clothing, cosmetics, shoes, jewelry, china and much more. It became the Brooks Hotel in 1992.

10. Furst Bldg. (1900), 517 Cedar St. Constructed by John G. Furst, a Norwegian who also operated a saloon in Gem. Over the years it has housed a soda fountain and ice cream bar, a dance floor and card room, as well as hotel suites.

10A. Eagles Bldg. (1905), 515 Cedar. Galbraith and Hall of Spokane designed the Eagles Lodge hall in 1905. The building employs local concrete block made of tailings from nearby mines and a small amount of silver and gold.

11. Follett Bldg. (1898), 518 Cedar 12. Holohan-McKinlay Bldg. (1900), Cedar and 6th Sts. Some documents refer to the building as the O’Neil-Samuels Building.
