Historic Wallace, Idaho Chamber of Commerce

There is a park here which is a must stop if you are driving down 90. It covers two important events for this area; mining and fires.

There are a number of mining exhibits of mining tools and there use. For example, do you know what order to set off charges when mining thru rock?

The second is this area is where a large fire in 1910 happened. This fire forced the forest service to change how they fight fires. PBS American Experience covered this fire in 2015 in an episode called the Big Burn.

Oh yeah, there are restrooms too!
