Our West is a series of tours during the summer led by Linda Fleming, board members, and others. These tours will take guests to surrounding areas that helped form Snake River's story. These include buildings and lots of scenery. Partcipants must furnish their own vehicles (or car-pool) and bring lunches. All the tours will be dependent upon sunny, dry days because they will involve travel on some dirt roads. High clearance vehicles are recommended. To take part in a tour, please contact the museum at 383-7262 or Linda Fleming at 383-7645 at least a week before the scheduled trip.
