Current and Upcoming Events
Idaho Talks
McCall Arts and Humanities Council is hosting a series of public discussions on the study and application of our humanity in relation to our environment. The talks take place in the museum's recently restored Carpenter Shop -- a building that itself reflects themes of preservation, heritage, and legacy. Guest speakers present in their area of expertise, then open the floor to questions and conversation.
