Idaho's hidden history perfectly preserved at Oasis Bordello Museum
An illegal mining town brothel up until 1988, the Oasis Bordello Museum is now a time machine where you can step into the past and view the world through the eyes of an Idaho working girl.
Wallace, Idaho
Wallace is located in the heart of Idaho's silver mining region, and the area has produced more silver than any other mining district in the United States. The area saw a lot of contention between miners and the mine owners - the Army had to come in a couple times to settle things down.
I-90 was built through Wallace on a raised viaduct. The original proposal called for a surface level highway, but that would have destroyed much of the city. Local leaders were able to get downtown Wallace designated as the Wallace Historic District, which spared the historic heart of the city. Minig is still done in the area, but Wallace now draws tourists for the city itself and for access to nearby mountains, trails and lakes.
The Photos (in order)
S05A0124 - The Northern Pacific Railroad Depot now serves as a railroad museum
W12A0079 - Historic downtown Wallace
W12A0056 - This sculpture of a Silver Valley mining family is located on the grounds of the Wallace Visitor Center along with a lot of mining equipment
W12A0071 - Visitors can pose for pictures inside this small spaceship, located in front of the Red Light Garage; I like the retro Stardust Motel sign, too
W12A0075 - The Oasis Bordello Museum highlight a part of Wallace's history; although the building looks older, the bordello was in operation until the 1970s, so much of the interior features a classic 70s look
W12A0083 - Wallace Mayor Ron Gariton declared the town to be the center of the universe after getting too much attention from the EPA for his tastes; a sewer cover in the intersection of Bank and 6th Streets marks the exact location
S05A0122 - North of town is the Burke Ghost Town including abandoned buildings from the Hecla Mine
S05A0101 - Further up the road is Cooper Pass, where one can access several hiking trails, including the Stateline Trail with views of Pear Lake

The Sierra Silver Mine | Wallace, Idaho (Vlog)
The Sierra Silver Mine in Wallace Idaho, the center of the universe! About an hour East of Coeur d’Alene, Wallace Idaho claimed themselves as the center of the universe in 2004. So you can imagine the vibe of this town. It’s a bunch of fun, and a bunch of people that don’t take themselves too seriously. It’s also a town with a ton of history. Founded 135 years ago in 1884, Wallace rests in the Coeur d’Alene mining district, a district that produced more silver than any other district in the United States. The history of mining culture in Wallace is what makes the Sierra Silver Mine tour such a fun and unique experience. The Sierra Silver Mine tour is the second most popular tour in Idaho. What’s the first? Watch the video and see!
Go underground in a real mine, with a real miner as your guide, and get a feel for what it was like to live as a miner during the Idaho silver boom. If you don’t have the hour and a half it takes to hop on the trolly and take the tour, you can stop by their historic office in Downtown Wallace. Equipped with its own ice cream parlor.
The mine is chilly so bring a jacket. Open 7 days a week from May 1st through October 15th. Check the website for more details like hours of operation. It’s best to call ahead of time to reserve your spot on a tour, but they do allow walk-ins.

The History of Idaho Song - Expret's Corner
What do you get when you cross a brief history of Idaho with REM's It's the End of the World? This.
Lyrics:
That’s great it starts with an excavation
Near the Wilson Butte Cave
And tribes in Nez Perce and Coeur d’Alene
Findings of arrowheads, humans were in Idaho
Fourteen thousand five hundred, short, short years ago
Then Meriwether Lewis and Lieutenant William Clark
Expeditioned on a mission, to the region they embarked
Then William Price Hunt and the Snake River
Navigation laid the foundation for the fur trade vocation
The Reverend Henry Spalding told the Natives in Lapwai to con. vert. now.
He printed books and made a school and irrigation, grew our first
Potatoes. It’s. His. Fault.
Uh-oh, rivers flow, boats going to and fro
Save yourself, serve yourself, Idaho got split up into
Two sides, north and south, the California gold rush and word of mouth and tons of money sweet
as treats from Easter bunny
Periodic, hyperbolic, catastrophic, workaholic feeling pretty psyched
This is our Idaho as we know it
This is our Idaho as we know it
This is our Idaho as we know it
This is our Idaho as we know it
And come peel mine
President Abraham, a thinkin’ Lincoln made in all its glory
Parts of land into Idaho Territory, and
Harrison president-ing, pen-signing, state-making
Governor appointing, it’s George Shoup winky winking
Years of mining, mining, mining, then declining clining clining
Farms, ag, irrigation, vegetation, jubilation
Towns and cities soon take flight, fallout from the test site
Unfortunate, unfortunate, unfortunate skies
Geothermal water, birthplace of TV, and a Pulitzer prize
This is our Idaho as we know it (it’s time I had a potato)
This is our Idaho as we know it (it’s time I had a potato)
This is our Idaho as we know it (it’s time I had a potato)
This is our Idaho as we know it (it’s time I had a potato)
And come peel mine
The other night I dreamt a scene, 1891 I mean
Designing from New York it seems, Emma Edwards Green
The only seal, the only great, seal in these United States
Designed by a female, now drop the mic, boom
Esto Perpetua, let it be eternal, right? Right.
This is our Idaho as we know it (it’s time I had a potato)
This is our Idaho as we know it (it’s time I had a potato)
This is our Idaho as we know it (it’s time I had a potato)
This is our Idaho as we know it (it’s time I had a potato)
And come peel mine
