The Cabin

The Cabin is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to inspire and celebrate a love of reading, writing and discourse throughout Idaho.

The Cabin is a center for writing and reading, one of only a few dozen across the country. It is a place to engage the art of language, to meet novelists and poets and essayists, to take a class or workshop honing particular skills in the art of writing, a place to find one’s voice.  The Cabin offers educational programs, presents our nation’s most acclaimed writers in conversation about their work, fosters dialog about issues central to our lives, and supports writers growing into their careers.

But the heart of The Cabin’s offerings is the simple fact of our presence on Capitol Boulevard, Idaho’s main street. As a beacon and statement to residents, to visitors and to young people, our presence says that here, in this building and this community, writing and reading are supported—that writing and reading matter. It is a rare kind of cultural traction, blending educational offerings in two of the three R’s with access to the very best authors and poets, and it’s part of what we mean when we say Words Work Wonders.
