Wirtanen honored
The “Esto Perpetua” award was presented to nine individuals and two organizations for outstanding accomplishments in preserving and promoting Idaho’s heritage at the Idaho State Historical Society’s (ISHS) annual  awards celebration held on Tuesday, June 2, 2015 at 5:30 p.m., at the Old Idaho Penitentiary, 2445 Old Penitentiary Rd., Boise, Idaho.
Included among those recipients is Lyle Wirtanen, former director of the Historical Museum at St. Gertrude’s Monastery.
“Each recipient has demonstrated a truly exceptional level of achievement in their efforts to preserve a part of Idaho’s heritage,” said Janet Gallimore, ISHS Executive Director. “They represent a geographical balance, which clearly illustrates the widespread care that Idahoans share when it comes to our state’s historical preservation.”
Named for the state motto which translates to “let it be perpetual,” the Esto Perpetua Awards began in 1999 to honor individuals or groups for professional accomplishments, public service, volunteerism and philanthropy related to preservation of Idaho’s heritage.
