Built in 1870, the Old Idaho Penitentiary is one of only four territorial prisons open to the public today. During its 101 years of operation, the site saw escapes, scandals and the effects of Boise’s transition from the “wild west” to a mid-20th century capital city
Table Rock stands right above the city and can often be seen from anywhere in town. Table Rock is known for the wonderful 3.7 mile hike located along the Boise foothills. Located near the Old Idaho State Penitentiary and Boise Botanical Gardens.
