The small town of Wallace (founded in 1884) in Idaho is unique, in that it has been declared the Center of the Universe (by the Mayor). Since no one has disproved the theory (as yet) the legend continues and a manhole cover has been nominated as the exact spot. While this is all a bit of fun, Wallace has a more serious side.
For example, the entire town is listed on the National Register of Historic places and its location really does put visitors in a position to explore near and far. There are several outdoor activities including scenic drives, hiking, biking and zip-lining, and visiting all the historic attractions could keep you busy for days. Map
