About this property
The Lemhi Boarding School Girls Dormitory is a historic building located on Hayden Creek Road near the community of Lemhi, Idaho. The dormitory is the only surviving building from the Lemhi Reservation, the native homeland of the Lemhi Shoshone. Due to increasing white settlement in the Lemhi Valley in the 1860s, the Lemhi Shoshone requested their own reservation; they received a reservation in 1875, though it had little arable land.
