Old Idaho Penitentiary
2445 Old Penitentiary Road, Boise, IDTel: (208) 368-6080
The "Old Pen" is a view of prison life in the West over the span of 100 years. The castle-like fortress was built in 1870 and was enlarged over the years, often with prisoner labor, until 1973 when a new prison replaced this one. Visitors take a 90-minute tour through solitary confinement cells, death row and the gallows, site of Idaho's only hanging in 1957. The building also houses several museums within the museum. Entrance fees run USD4 for adults; USD3 for seniors and children; and, it is free for children 5 and younger.
