Engraved Bricks - Personalized engraved bricks helped fund The Grove Plaza’s construction in 1986. With the new renovation and sales effort, nearly 20,000 engraved bricks will surround the plaza fountain.

Time Capsule - For the Plaza’s inauguration in 1988 local school children were asked to write essays about what Boise would look like in 25 years. Selected essays together with an Idaho Statesman newspaper were buried in a time capsule. At the Plaza's 20th anniversary celebration on November 23, 2007, the time capsule was opened and Mayor Dave Bieter read excerpts from several of the essays. For information on all the essays please contact CCDC at 384-4264.
