The History of Wallace Idaho

Wallace is facinating for its history: 118 years old, bawdy in its boom times, resolute in the hard times, this town of 960 reveles in its history. Today, five out of six tourist attractions in town celebrate the town's history and culture. The Sierra Silver Mine Tour trolly takes tourists past the Mining Museum, the Railroad Museum, the Bordello Museum, and the Melodrama on its way to the mine and the walking part of the tour.

However, the true history of the town lies in the archives of photos, newspapers, letters, stories and memories. This part of the website will organize this information in two ways. On the surface, this history index webpage will lead to a series of stories with restored photographs that tell tales from the past. Below the surface, a massive and sophisticated database grows.

Thank you for your time and interest in Wallace Idaho. From January 1, 2002, through December 31, 2007, 2,519,660 successful page requests were were recorded and analyzed. After segregating search engine robot requests and dividing by the average number of pages per visit each month, I calculate this domain's traffic as 621,811 humans and 31,436 robots over 72 months. I have the robots conditioned to return every 15 days and I know a bunch of you humans visit the domain on a regular basis, so these numbers do not represent unique visitors. Still, this show of interest is gratifying for a town with a population of 960. A traffic report with charts is available for the interested viewer.
