Harlots, Heroines, & Hustlers

Join us for a tour of downtown Boise's not-so-deep underworld! We will be retracing the steps of crooked Davis Levy, Queen Aggie Bush, and Diamond Tooth Lil. We'll even see where temperance and vice met for a biblical afternoon that resulted in death in front of Boise's old City Hall. Matching salacious scandals with thorough legal and moral codes, you'll walk away feeling "intimately" acquainted with the scarlet ladies that worked Boise's streets and alleys from the 1860s to the 1920s.

Discover the hidden, darker side of Boise’s past with A Macabre History of Boise Tour. Historian Mark Iverson will lead you through the untold stories—the forgotten, the overlooked, and the macabre. From crimes of passion to unsettling electro-shock "therapy" and eerie haunted homes, we’ll take you to the very spots where these shocking events unfolded.
