Hidden Idaho Day History: Territory of Treasure: How Idaho Gold Saved the Union

"Hidden Idaho Day History: How Idaho Gold Saved the Union" is an entertaining, two-hour multimedia program being presented in support of AMERICA 250th in IDAHO Initiative.

Helping to set the mood will be the first speaker, Skip Critell, of Idaho and a 27 year member of the Association of Lincoln Presenters. More info and reviews are located at his website Lincoln remembered.org

The second speaker is Frank Krone, a Lincoln Bicentennial Commissioner who moved to Idaho from Lincoln, Nebraska to volunteer on the Idaho Day and Lincoln Birthday events held at the archives. Frank's expertise covers the facts and lore about the Gem State's gold and silver mines and the history of CSA filed claims.

"Hidden Idaho Day History..." is family friendly, free and open to the public. Bring your cell phones and take "selfies" with "President Lincoln" to commemorate America250 in Idaho!
