Welcome To Historic Old Town Pocatello

From specialty shops to fine dining, Old Town is a magnet for people looking for a unique experience. Clothing, antiques, housewares, sporting goods, art galleries and other stores make Historic Old Town a destination for shoppers. Places to eat, serving everything from subs to fine international dishes, stand side-by-side with bars, coffee shops and bakeries. For those who want to be pampered, there are day spas, beauty salons and candy treats to ease the hustle-and-bustle of 21st century life. Banks, architects, lawyers, accountants, and doctors round-out Old Town's business community. All this amongst the beautiful historic buildings that speak of the past and create the perfect ambience for a unique experience.

Our Vision

A downtown that is a destination for locals and tourists alike; a destination that is celebrated for its history and uniqueness, providing an appealing retail mix, desirable commercial space, quality housing, unique common areas, and major community events.
