OVERVIEW

Founded in the 1862 Boise Basin gold rush, Idaho City briefly outgrew Boise and Portland in population; its Boot Hill Cemetery holds more than 2,000 burials, and several original buildings, including the 1862 saloon now called Diamond Lil's, still stand.

REPORTED ACTIVITY

Visitors describe apparitions among the graves at Boot Hill after dark, including a bearded prospector figure and a young girl near the cemetery's Chinese section, along with reported activity inside the old saloon.

VISITING

The historic district and cemetery are open to the public.
