This Free Idaho Museum Lets Kids Stand Beneath A Full Mammoth Skeleton Up Close
A mammoth tusk twelve feet long sits inside a modest brick building on a college campus in southeastern Idaho. Most people drive right past it on the way to somewhere else. Kids who step inside find ancient beasts, spiral-toothed sharks, a giant spider, and a quiet corner full of picture books.

Idaho State-Civic Symphony announces newest season: ‘Anchors in the Storm’
POCATELLO — The Idaho State-Civic Symphony is proud to present its 2026-2027 season, "Anchors in the Storm.” Conducted and curated by Nell Flanders, this season’s musical voyage brings audiences back to the beloved classics of the symphonic repertoire, including Beethoven, Britten, and Tchaikovsky, and familiar guest artists to bring the stage to life once again: the amazing vocalist, Kristin Renee Young, and the timeless Native American flutist, Hovia Edwards. In the beautiful lights of the Joseph C. and Cheryl H. Jensen Grand Concert Hall at the Stephens Performing Arts Center, each performance invites audiences to reflect on personal sources of strength and resilience: their own anchors in a sea of uncertainties. Through music, the Symphony explores the many ways we find stability, meaning and connection in the midst of life’s storms. The season begins with “The Sea and the Seasons” on Oct. 2. This concert paints orchestral masterpieces of the sea featuring Dvořák’s “Slavonic Dances” in a side-by-side performance with the Symphony’s Youth Orchestra, Strauss’s “Last Four Songs” with the enchanting soprano Kristin Renee Young, and Debussy’s “La Mer.” Each piece explores the composer’s musical interpretations of the tumultuous nature of the sea. Later in the fall, on Nov. 13,
