Schick-Ostolasa Farmstead Listed in National Register of Historic Places

On August 23, 2006 the National Park Service added the Shick-Ostolasa Farmstead at Hidden Springs to the National Register of Historic Places.  The farmstead is significant in that it is one of a small number of historic structures in Ada County that date before 1870.  The Council sponsored the listing of this property.  For additional information, visit our Schick-Ostolasa Farmstead page or contact Claudia Druss of the Dry Creek Historical Society at 208-229-2323 ext 26.
