PHOTO OF THE
"NOW AND THEN" BUILDING
(Located
downtown Jordan Valley)
Jordan Valley Owyhee Heritage Council
aka JVOHC
Parent Company of the I.O.N.
Heritage Museum
JVOHC Board of Directors share a vision
and desire to provide
a heritage Museum in which to display
artifacts,
photos, oral histories, folk art,
and unique geological finds
collected throughout the region
and or
passed down
from generation to generation.
The Council was formed in January of 2002.
Members of the JVOHC designed
and opened The Jordan Valley
“Now & Then”
Building in 2003,
as an interim building,
until the Museum opened
its doors to the public.
It
is designed in a showcasing format
located in downtown Jordan Valley.
Displayed are historical artifacts
and
regional fine art and buckaroo gear.
The showcase has been a success with
many
supporters from the local community,
travelers, and tourists.
However, because of limited space,
lighting,
and other conditions necessary
for archival preservation underscored
the need for a more suitable
site.
The new Museum, the old Elorriaga Home
and Basque boarding house of Jordan Valley,
is now finally opened and is providing
an incredible opportunity
to be used as interpretive center,
community
hub, and historical education center;
Hopefully, ultimately increasing the awareness
and appreciation for our local
history
and generating job opportunities,
development, and revenue for our community.
