Hayley Noble
Executive Director
Hayley joins our team after ten years in Boise. She grew up in Northern Nevada, but moved to Idaho to attend Boise State University. Hayley received both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in History from BSU. She loves creating exhibits and the detective work that research involves, as well as being surrounded by books. Her area of study is military history with an emphasis on World War II. She completed her thesis project on Soviet women in combat on the Eastern Front. You might see her exploring Latah County with her golden retriever, Indy (yes, named after Indiana Jones).

Elaina Pierson
Office Coordinator
Elaina became a part of the LCHS team in October of 2018. Growing up in central Idaho, she spent a good deal of time looking for old mining sites in the mountains with her parents, and visiting every museum they could find on family vacations. With a love for old houses and history, especially the colorful characters of Idaho’s frontier, Elaina was enamored with the McConnell Mansion soon after she moved to Moscow in the late 90s. When she isn’t at work, she pursues a wide variety of creative interests, writing and photography in particular, and enjoys spoiling her two giant dogs.
