The River Street Neighborhood Collection is the result of a multiyear project to establish the Erma Hayman House as a cultural site. The collections viewed here consist of photographs, documents, and oral histories of families of the neighborhood, offering a glimpse of life in Boise and of the working-class community.
Our sincere thanks to the six families first presented here who entrusted us with their time and generous gift of education, stories, and photographs, including: Connie Belle, Jerry Bridges, Cherie Buckner-Webb, John Hardy, Richard "Dick" Madry, and Jeanne Madry-Young.
