IDAHO FALLS - The traveling exhibit Titanic, has docked itself at the museum of Idaho.

Eyewitness news reporter Jennifer McGraw is there now enjoying a sneak peek and all the festivities. Jenn, how is it?

It's quite the exciting evening here at the Museum of Idaho. A piece of history, full of stories from the walls of the ship to the people on board.

In 1912, the titanic set sail for a voyage of a lifetime. A ship that defied logic.

But as we all know, it didn't quite live up to its name. A vessel that took years to build, vanished in minutes.

This exhibit showcases the life on board to the depths of the sea.

Old clothes and papers were preserved in trunks and leather cases. As you walk through the exhibit you get to experience life on board.

The exhibit won't sail away until September, so you have plenty of time to hop on board and enjoy the ride.

This week Gov. Otter signed a bill requiring Idaho to sue the federal government if Congress passes health care reform. What's your response to this?

  • It's great to see Idaho taking the lead on this. Someone has to stand up to what's happening in Washington.
  • We can't afford to pay for education in Idaho, but we're going to spend tax dollars to sue the feds? Ridiculous.
  • Not sure.
