Wow Jesse! I was just there last Wednesday! This is an amazing facility! Check out the website links below. There are 50 vintage tractors sprinkled all around this beautiful community complex. HISTORY The story begins with J. R. (Jack) Simplot, an Idaho entrepreneur who saw potential where other people did not. He was a model of the pioneering spirit, of taking risks, and thinking outside the box. J. R. passed away in 2008 leaving behind his legacy and astounding collection of vintage tractors. While deciding what to do with these tractors, a new idea emerged. Instead of building a typical tractor museum, which would likely be under-utilized, we decided to build JUMP, a lively community space unlike anything Boise has ever seen. While "JUMP" is a metaphor for explorative play, it is also an acronym for "Jack's Urban Meeting Place." Our desire is for this place to honor Jack by giving our community opportunities to continue to inspire, grow, and innovate.
