Why this spot
1881-1930s Mormon farm settlement on the Oregon Trail
Farm community on an Oregon Trail route founded by Mormon settlers in 1881, peaking at just under 700 people around 1920. A railroad that bypassed it through Bancroft and farming troubles left it deserted by the end of the 1930s.View source →
