HOW DOES HISTORY LIVE IN YOUR TOWN?

Historic Wallace, Idaho Center of the Universe

My name is Debbie, and for over four decades, I've wielded my camera to capture the essence of towns and their tales. My recent journey with my husband, led us to the storied streets of Wallace, Idaho, where history whispers through the rustling leaves and weathered facades. Here, amidst the echoes of time, I sought to unveil the hidden narratives that define this charming town.

In the heart of Wallace, nestled amidst its historic charm, stood the vintage emblem of the Stardust Motel—a relic of bygone days beckoning me to immortalize its memory. My lens yearned to frame this testament to a simpler era, amidst the backdrop of Wallace's rich tapestry.

Yet, as my husband and I wandered through Wallace's streets, we encountered an unexpected spectacle. The townsfolk, adorned in costumes reminiscent of space explorers, proclaimed Wallace as the center of the universe. It was on this day, they continued to claim it so. Amidst the whimsical revelry, we felt like travelers in a strange land, navigating through a cosmos of eccentricity.

But beneath the surface of this cosmic carnival lay the beating heart of Wallace—the resilience of its people and the echoes of its past. From its roots as a bustling mining town to the harrowing saga of a devastating fire, Wallace's history unfolded before us, revealing its indomitable spirit.

Our senses were tantalized by the signs claiming that huckleberry milkshakes were the best ever and so we drifted to a local restaurant to try them out. This small, quaint town is a tribute to the bounty of the surrounding forests and the culinary delights that awaited. We surrendered to curiosity, indulging in this local delicacy as we savored the flavors of Wallace's landscape.

Yet, as the sun set on our time in Wallace, we were reminded of the transient nature of our journey. With the allure of Glacier National Park beckoning, we reluctantly bid farewell to this haven of history and hospitality, yearning to linger amidst its storied streets.

Wallace's history is woven with threads of resilience and reinvention, a testament to its enduring spirit. Ravaged by fire and adversity, the town rose from the ashes, forging a new identity rooted in its past. Its journey mirrors our own capacity to overcome trials and emerge stronger, imbued with the lessons of history.

In the embrace of Wallace, I found solace amidst the unfamiliar, my lens capturing moments of beauty and resilience. Beneath the surface of its quirky façade lies a town steeped in history and humanity, where the echoes of the past mingle with the warmth of its people. As I framed its story through my camera, I marveled at the timeless allure of Wallace, Idaho—a town where history and hospitality converge in a tapestry of resilience and redemption.
