Why this spot
1870-1929 Mormon farming town
Founded in 1870 upstream of the earlier Rockhouse settlement, it grew a store, church and sandstone houses, but yearly floods from 1883 to 1888 drove people out. A 1911 gold venture washed away, the post office closed in 1914 and the last prospector left in 1929.View source →
