Ghost Signs of Boise

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. TICKETS available May 8th
The tour is free but space is limited.

Signs are everywhere. As wayfinding aids, signs play a very active role in our daily lives. Sometimes attached to buildings, other times painted on, and still others they are free-standing. Though only viewed/interacted with for an instant at a time, signs are significant social elements in our lives, communicating to the passerby what the owner intends. Not only do signs display goods and services, but they can help show the unique personality of the respective business or proprietor. Historically, we can look at evolution of signs and call back to the histories of these interesting places. Architectural Historian, Jamee Fiore, at the Idaho State Historical Society will be giving the tour.

Join us on this Walking Tour around downtown Boise.
