Comment |
In 1899 an enterprising Owen Smith brought his family of six to this arid stretch of road to construct a stage stop. A water hole and overnight facilities were needed on this 30 mile segment of the Myton to Price stage freight line. Nine buildings once stood here, including a restaurant, blacksmith shop and a small hotel. |
