About Us
A little about our great town!
The community was named for George Murray, a mining prospector. Murray was one of several boisterous mining camps that became active in the late 1880s in Northern Idaho. Mines operated in the area from the 1880s to the 1950s. A Northern Pacific railroad line served the community for two years during the 1910s. A post office was established at Murray in 1884, and remained in operation until 1959. Our community is a special place with a special history! Where once famous lawman Wyatt Earp roamed, drank, gambled, and even ran his own White Elephant Saloon. Where the men, who helped shape our great nation had invested time and money to reap the rewards of the gold rush days.
Annual gun raffle!
Tickets are available at The Bedroom Goldmine bar and restaurant and The Spragpole bar and restaurant in the town of Murray. Tickets are $20 each or 6 tickets for $100! This years prize is quite special. Two guns for the price of one! A side by side double barrel 12 gauge stage coach shot gun and a 45 long Colt peace maker! These are new unfired reproductions. Once you buy your ticket you don't need to be present to win, and with only 800 tickets available the odds are awesome. All proceeds go to the Molly B'Damn corporation for the betterment of the town.
