WALLACE –– The Fourth of July may get all the big attention this week, but in Wallace, the party starts one day earlier when they celebrate Idaho's Statehood Day.
On July 3, 1890, President Benjamin Harrison signed Idaho into statehood and the rest, as they say, is history.
Each year, the city of Wallace kicks off their annual Fourth of July festivities the night before, with a mini-festival of sorts that celebrates the birthday of the Gem of the Mountain (more on that nickname later).
