We had a great kickoff celebration at noon today for Idaho's Territorial Sesquicentennial. The student choir was great!!!! One hundred and fifty years ago today President Abraham Lincoln signed the Congressional legislation making Idaho a Territory.
The Lincoln impersonator did a great job of delievering the keynote address. The President reminded us all of the important role Idaho played in helping the Union Armies to prevail in the conflict between the states. The gold and silver discovered and mined in Idaho helped to provide the money necessary to support the war effort to maintain the Union.
Watch your local media outlets for dates and locations of other Sesquicentennial events coming to our communities all over Idaho.
Thanks President Lincoln for your support of our wonderful Territory and State!!!
