Episode Details

In 1990, Idaho celebrated its centennial with a stunning public art project: 44 porcelain county signs lining Capitol Boulevard in Boise, each costing $600–$1,000 and crafted to honor local culture and history.

Unveiled by then-Mayor Dirk Kempthorne, these enduring symbols of unity have survived decades—even as downtown development shifted their locations—still proudly marking Idaho’s rich regional identity today.
