A Community in Bloom: Ustick’s Past, Present, and Future

From the City of Boise “Join us for a presentation with architectural historian, Kerry Davis, and Dan Everhart, outreach historian for the State Historic Preservation Office, to discuss the original townsite of Ustick. Established in 1907, Ustick played an integral role in the development of the Boise Valley. This history is still visible in landscape elements of the area (buildings, open space, mature trees, open canals, and so forth). The presentation will include a review of properties eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and what eligibility means for property owners. The speakers will conclude with a discussion of various protection measures and conservation tools available to constituents interested in retaining Ustick’s unique character. This event is free and open to the public.”
