Idaho Songs Project

Presented by the Latah County Historical Society, featuring music by Gary Eller. The event is slated for the McConnell Mansion lawn, so audiences are encouraged to bring their own chairs/blankets and snacks. In the case of inclement weather, the event will be moved inside the mansion. The Idaho Songs Project was started in 2006 for the purpose of finding, interpreting and preserving songs written before the radio era (before 1923) about Idaho's early people, places and events. Such songs provide glimpses into the culture of early Idaho from the bottom up. This program will feature music from the Panhandle region. Eller will also have books and CDs based on his research available for purchase.
