Walk Through History

Now that the weather is getting nicer and walking through town seems like an option.  It is a great time to consider going on a historic walking tour of Sandpoint.  The walking tour can be downloaded to your phone to make navigation easy.  Each location has a description of the building and why it is historically significant.  There is both a shorter downtown version that is centered on the shopping district and a longer version that takes you farther into the historic neighborhoods. A great way to get fresh air and exercise too.  You could hop on a bike or rent a surrey (available at Murphy's) to bike around from location to location.   

Here are some suggestions for adding some extra fun:

• Take a sketch book and stop at some of your favorite spots to sketch a historic building
• Use a camera or your phone and challenge yourself to capture some artistic photos using the historic sites in your composition, tag us on Instagram #athomewithBCHS
• Do the tour early in the morning or after dark, and see how it changes the scene
• End your walking tour at Lakeview Cemetery or the Bonner County History Museum and have a picnic.
• Listen to North Idaho Nuggets Podcast while walking the route for a double dose of local history
