The historic Almon W. and Mary E. Spaulding Farmstead, also known as “Spaulding Ranch” is located at 3805 N. Cole Road. It consists of approximately 20 acres containing 9 structures, agricultural fields, and landscape features.
The farmstead is significant for its association with the early settlement and development of Boise. As the last full visual testament to the early history of Boise’s West Bench, it provides a reminder of the area’s agricultural legacy. What was once all rural, farmland has long been consumed by Boise’s creeping urban development, but the Spaulding Ranch continues to stand as a record of our past.
The ranch has added significance as the home of Boise’s first female doctor/surgeon, Dr. Mary E. Spaulding, who homesteaded the property with her husband starting in 1896.

Shout out to out neighbors at West King and Regal Drive
From KTVB.com
BOISE — There was some real neighborly love going on in one Boise neighborhood Sunday.
At the corner of West King Street and Regal Drive, neighbors got together to get to know each other.
Recently, residents say things have been getting stolen out of yards, children have been bullied and vandalism has happened.
This neighborhood believes if we learn to love our neighbors, the crime could stop.
“When we know each other better, than we respect each other’s things,” said Chris Veisaya, who supported the community movement. “And also, we wanted to stand for an idea, a theme.”
Residents said they already live in a great community, but they want it to be better.
They are hoping their message of “love your neighbor” could reach other parts of Boise too.
Please find attached a flier with details about the annual Fanfest event this Friday, May 11th, at Memorial Stadium, 5:00 pm – dark, sponsored by Drug FreeIdaho.
This is a great venue to have fun and get solid information on pertinent topics.
