Reviews
"It really is an adorable town. Definitely worth visiting. This landmark in particularly is cute and fun in a novelty type of way, but that’s it. The town itself is worth visiting for sure though."
"I randomly stopped in the gorgeous scenic town of Wallace and found myself in the center of the universe and later found it was also the town featured in the movie Dante's Peak! Such a beautiful place to walk around and my only regret was not taking more pictures. If you find yourself in the area I definitely recommend checking it out!"
"In 2004, Wallace’s mayor Ron Garitone proclaimed the town the Center of the Universe. Why? Because he could… using the theory of probabilism. Since no one could prove the people of Wallace wrong… well then… it must be true. Founded in the late 1880s in the middle of Idaho’s panhandle, sits a small town of just under 1000 people. A part of the Coeur d’Alene silver-mining district – which produced more silver than any other mining district in the United States – the little town of Wallace, Idaho was put on the map for another reason. Today, the self-proclaimed “Center of the Universe” marker sits at the intersection of Bank and Sixth streets Wallace’s downtown area. In addition to the declaration on the cover, there are four initials – HL, CDE, SRLM, and BHM – representing the four prominent mining companies in Shoshone County: Hecla Mining, Coeur d’Alene Precious Metals, Sunshine Silver Mine, and Bunker Hill Mining Company. Since it was discovered in 1885, the mining district has produced over 2 billion dollars in metal wealth (silver, lead, and zinc), according to Idaho State University’s website."
"This town is awesome! How can you not love it! The history is out of this world and the people are so friendly! Can't wait to return to the center of the universe ;)"
