Junior League of Boise (JLB) History Walking Tour

Join HannaLore Hein, past JLB President and Idaho State Historian, at the Spirit of Idaho Women statue on the southeast corner of the state capitol for the annual History Walk on Saturday, April 25, at 10:00 a.m. for a 1.5‑mile walk through downtown Boise and Julia Davis Park highlighting the Junior League of Boise’s 98‑year impact and the legacy of Idaho women who embodied Revolutionary‑era ideals in support of America250.

This tour explores how women’s early political engagement—from the Revolution through the 19th century—set the stage for Idaho women to win suffrage, hold office by 1898, and build civic organizations like JLB. The tour includes stops tied to JLB history, such as the Boise Assay Office, Discovery Center of Idaho, Zoo Boise, Boise Art Museum, and the Idaho State Museum.

The walk ends in Julia Davis Park and lasts about 90 minutes.
