Join architectural historians Ashley and Dan from the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office for an engaging bicycle tour of the historic homes in the Hillcrest neighborhood.
Discover how the Hillcrest Country Club influenced the post-war development of Boise’s Airport Bench, leading to the creation of some of the city's finest mid-century architect-designed homes.
