Thank You Idaho Heritage Trust for the matching grant award of $13,000 for the final exterior restoration phase on the exterior of the historic Pacific & Idaho Northern Railway Depot. These funds will be used to complete the multi-phase restoration work of the Corbels, Fascia, and Soffits. And thank you to the Idaho Legislature for making the funding available through the royalty payments of the IHT’s trademarked red, white, and blue license plate design. Your continued support of the IHT makes it possible to preserve historic Idaho treasures.
