Northern Crossroads of the Inland Empire

In the early 1900s, Bonners Ferry grew along the Kootenai River as a vital link between the farms, forests, and mining camps of North Idaho and the expanding commercial center of Spokane. Steamboats, rail lines, and freight routes all converged here, moving timber, ore, and supplies through the narrow valley toward larger markets. Its position at the edge of the Selkirks made Bonners Ferry an important northern outpost whose economy and people were closely connected to the growth of the Inland Empire.

With its vintage lettering and classic Northwest style, the collection celebrates the movement, history, and frontier character that helped define Bonners Ferry and its connection to the wider region.
