Walk through History
Now that the weather is getting nicer and walking through town seems like an option. It is a great time to consider going on a historic walking tour of Sandpoint. The walking tour can be downloaded to your phone to make navigation easy. Each location has a description of the building and why it is historically significant.
There is both a shorter downtown version that is centered on the shopping district and a longer version that takes you farther into the historic neighborhoods. A great way to get fresh air and exercise too. You could hop on a bike or rent a surrey (available at Murphy's) to bike around from location to location.
Here are some suggestions for adding some extra fun:
Take a sketch book and stop at some of your favorite spots to sketch a historic building
Use a camera or your phone and challenge yourself to capture some artistic photos using the historic sites in your composition, tag us on Instagram #athomewithBCHS
Do the tour early in the morning or after dark, and see how it changes the scene
End your walking tour at Lakeview Cemetery or the Bonner County History Museum and have a picnic
Listen to North Idaho Nuggets Podcast while walking the route for a double dose of local history
Share your sketches, photos, and experiences of the tour with us on social media #athomewithBCHS
