    Full Description:
    Exact description as reads ...

    Gold discoveries by Dave Bourne in 1909 created the town of Jarbidge.

    With 1,500 population in Jarbidge Canyon by 1910, citizens built this pioneer type community hall with a "floating" maple floor. The building was restored by grass-roots effort in 1965.

    The stately Community Hall was renovated in 2001. Today, you can't miss "the Inn" as you drive through Jarbidge!

    Wanna peek inside? Sue at the gift shop is more than happy to open the hall for a quick tour! She opened the Hall for us when she noticed us taking pictures of the marker. Inside is what you'll find...

    If Sue opens the Hall for you, please do something in return and sign the guestbook at the door. You'll be amazed at just how many people worldwide have visited Jarbidge!

    Almost everything inside the hall is original, including the aforementioned "floating" floor and the blue backdrop. Original documents dating Jarbidge, including dozens of old photographs are pinned proudly to the walls in decorative frames.
