Join the Owyhee County Museum for a free field trip back in time, experiencing what it was like to take a train from Nampa to Murphy on the Boise, Nampa & Owyhee Railroad. The tour will be guided by the Director, Eriks Garsvo and will be an auto tour. The tour will start in Nampa along the former right of way on Murray Street. Then the tour will head for Bowmont, Melba, Guffey Bridge, Sheep Wreck site and finally the end of the line in Murphy where we will tour the old location of the Wye track and water tower. Once in Murphy everyone is welcome to tour the Owyhee County Museum and the Union Pacific Caboose.
Due to recent concerns on virus we ask that everyone have their own cars and not car pool unless it’s with close family ect.( your discretion is advised) and when outside practice that physical distancing. The museum hopes that everyone enjoys themselves and though this is a free tour, donations are greatly appreciated.
