The Basque Block is one of Idaho’s unique cultural blocks of a living ethnic neighborhood- Basque. It is comprised of two boarding houses - the Cyrus Jacobs-Uberruaga house, and the Anduiza.nnThe block has its unique indoor frontón court, the Basque Center, the Basque Museum and Cultural Center, Bar Gernika, Leku Ona restaurant, and the Basque Market. The cultural food is one of the main attractions here.nnThere is Basque History Mural completed by Noel Weber and The Letterheads in 2000, located on the Basque Block off of Capitol Blvd. One of the original Letterhead Members, Bill Hueg, hand painted a reproduction of the work which was translated into this new digital version displayed on the west-facing wall of the 104-year-old Anduiza Fronton building.nnThe Museum Hours are Tuesday – Friday: 10am to 5pm and Saturday: 11am to 4pm. It is closed on Sunday, Monday, and Holidays.nnIf you are in Boise or visiting Boise and you are a history geek, I would say definitely check out this place and also try the food here to taste a different ethnic food.
I loved the staff, they helped me out a lot learning about the Basque culture and influence across the west coast.
It's nice to discover somewhere that you are able to learn about a piece of your family history. ud83dudc9a❤
Great way to learn about the Basque in Boise. I wished there would have been a video to show the dances performed at the annual festival for those of us not fortunate to attend in person.
Beautiful place. Didn't take the official tour but will soon!!!
