General Info

For well over 100 years, Morris Hill Cemetery has functioned as a final resting place for Boise residents. It has also served as a repository of the city's history and as a reflection of the growth and development of Boise, Idaho and the West. You will be asked to look at cemetery markers not simply as mute stones but as works of art and as commentaries on our society. You will learn about the men, women, and children who lived and died in Boise and about the city which they helped build. In short, you will take a brief journey into our past and we hope will emerge with a greater appreciation for our history and a reverence for those who made it.
