Barnard-Stockbridge Museum in Wallace

The very old Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Wallace will soon turn into a new museum showcasing the extensive photography work of Thomas Barnard and Nellie Stockbridge, who both took thousands of images from 1894 to 1963, mostly of miners, but also of the town and people who lived there. After decades sitting in archives at the University of Idaho, the images are now digetized, and the university has donated hundreds of thousands of them to the town of Wallace
