HERITAGE HOMES TOUR

Mark Your Calendars for The 19th Annual Heritage Homes Tour

Join us on Sunday, October 5, 2025, for an unforgettable experience through Boise’s rich architectural history in the Mountain View Neighborhood - one of the Central Bench’s premier mid-century residential neighborhoods. While platted just after the turn of the 20th century, distance from downtown slowed development until after the Second World War when the neighborhood’s large lots embraced sprawling ranches in a variety of stylistic motifs.

Tickets will be available soon — stay tuned for updates!
