Located at the intersection of Bank and Sixth Streets in historic downtown Wallace, Idaho, is the "Probalistic Center of the Universe." Be seen with friends, family or even the local wildlife and forevermore be able to proclaim that you have stood at the Center of the Universe and survived to tell about it. The Center of the Universe monument was officially dedicated by His Honor, Wallace Mayor Ron Garitone, September 25th, 2004. The Center of the Universe was celebrated again at this intersection on the evening of Saturday, September 23, following conclusion of Silver Summit 2006, itself an international celebration of the silver mining industry and the companies who explore for, mine, and refine that noble metal.We were happy to see so many people join us for a fun evening of awards, live music, dancing, and general merriment as we toasted the Center of the Universe and young love. On September 22, 2007, following a very well attended Silver Summit 2007 in nearby Coeur d'Alene, Wallace again celebrated its unique location at the center of all things. However, this year the Princess Pagent was morphed into a community service festival, where a dozen contestants for Miss. Center of the Universe and Mr. Hardrock collected over $4000 to initiate a scholarship program for local high school students. The winners are shown below.
