Yet, there are gritty, sordid, and tragic elements to Boise’s past, often stricken from popular historical narratives of Idaho’s capital city. The Macabre History walking tour will take you back to Boise’s formative years by focusing on the darker aspects of its past; it will entertain you while contextualizing Boise’s history through the telling of many separate tales of pimps and prostitutes, shootouts and saloon slayings, murders, ghosts, diseases, quack medicine, and more.
