About Us
IdaHistory is first and foremost about combining entertaining and scholarly history.
At Idahistory Historical Tours & Research, we believe history should be raw, real, and rooted in truth. Based in Boise, Idaho, our mission is to uncover and share the stories that often go untold—honest, unfiltered, and free from the myths that often cloud local lore. Through immersive tours and in-depth research, we spotlight rare and overlooked moments from Idaho’s past, offering our audiences a deeper, more meaningful understanding of the people, events, and places that shaped our region.
We’re more than just a tour company—we're passionate advocates for historical preservation and community support. By collaborating with locally-owned historic businesses and highlighting their roles in Idaho's heritage, we help keep the spirit of the past alive in the present. Whether through walking tours, digital content, or custom research, Idahistory is committed to preserving our state’s complex history with integrity, curiosity, and respect.
