Shoshone Idaho

Shoshone Idaho

Historic Shoshone, Idaho, was established in 1882 and is the oldest "village" in the Magic Valley area.  With its turn of the century hotels from the 1900's which still stand adjacent to the original Union Pacific Oregon Short Line tracks to its historic restaurants, opera houses and lava stone structures, this town takes you on a walk back in time through American history.  This tiny town features antique shops where you are sure to find unusual treasures, boarding houses which were once inhabited by the famous Basque Sheepherders and historic churches.  Discover the restored mansions of C.F. Borden, a prominent banker in 1908 and the Governor's mansion built by Idaho governor, Frank R. Gooding in 1910.
