An interesting story behind a unique building

Hidden amongst the tall trees in Hayden, Idaho, yet only a few minutes from Highway 95 on Government Way, is where you will find a building, which is unpretentious on the outside but takes you to another place once you enter.

In 2004, Bielec Enterprises, Inc
