EVENTS AND PERSONS ASSOCIATED WITH BUILDING 1;he ·I imball Ranch is located in Parley's Park in Summit :::ounty at the head of Parley's Canyon, 25 miles east of Salt Lake City. The area was explored in 1848 by Parley B. Pratt, after whom the area was named. Mr. Pratt built a road through the canyon in 1849-50, called Parley's Canyon or the Golden Pass Toll Road. The ranch is located in a valley of 6454 feet elevation, just east of the intersections of Routes 40 and 248 on r.he north side o~ Route 40. It is crossed by Kimball (~'~'eek, which flows into East Canyon stream, a tributary ::>:.:. the Weber River.

Kimball '.~ !:1:3 born April 10, 1826 in Meridan, Monroe Counry, / eH York and was t~e eldest son of Heber J. Kimball, a ~l '" c4-t ~-La . . ?resident of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day ,..:.a.ints (Mormon). He came to Utah with his father in 1848. He was also a Mormon missionary in England from 1854 to 1851, w~s one of those who met the Edward lVJ.artin IIFrozen" Handcart Company survivors and brought them into the valley, served as Captain of Minute Men in early Indian troubles, and as Brigidier General of the Utah Militia. He drove the mail stage line be.tween Park City and Salt Lake City from l810~1885, was;~ postmaster at Parley's Park, and organized and directed the Park City Ice Company.He also was honored for ~~scovering the firs~ coal in the Salt Lake City area, :.is claim becoming the Sprague llliine at CoalVille, Utah. I'e take advantage of the steadily increasing traffic ·:~own l)e.rley's Canyon Road, Hr. Kimball built a substantial eleven room rock hotel with a large log bar~ d'lring the early 1860 I s. Both buildings are still in ~3e. A lean-to portion on the east end was the Post vffice. It also contained a bar over which ice cold irinks were sold to thirsty travelers.

II \":rne ouil<iing was one of the original stations of th~ ~verland Stages, the Holladay Stage Line and later bec~me part of the Wells-Fargo Express Company. The Jverland StaGe followed the Webe~ River to Three-Mile ~anyon, later up Silver Creek to ~imball's Junction and over the summit of the Wasatch Range down ?arley's Can¥on to Salt Lake City. I.ts route was sometimes confused with the Pony Express which trave14d for 18 months (1860-61) over the Pioneer Trail simultaneously. The Pioneer Trail traveled through Echo Canyon and ·followed the Weber River to Henefer, through E8.st Canyon 8.nd Emigration Canyon to Salt Lake City. The hotel and barn are one of the best preserved of the Overland Stage serving stations. Still standing .are the old stables, coach repair shops and feed storage. 'rraces of the old route exist nearby. The "Transcontinental Tourists' ~:lidell in 1814 describe.s the area as follows: IIParleys Park - This is a beautiful valley on ~ ~1.e stage road, about five miles long by three ~iles wide. It is very fertile, producing fine crops of small grain. Several hundred settlers have located and, made themselves homes. There is a fine hotel, once kept as & st'age station, now kept by William Kimball, oldest son of Heber C." :'. "~imball also constructed a toll bridge here. On - .1.1y a, 1865 he was granted the right to collect a '~; oll of 25 cents on all freighters, (citizens of ' the county passed free), but this permit was revoked in I: 0 rch, 1866. 4 21'".:.e hotel was famous for i ts dinner~ of trout, wild ,:"uck, sage hen, beef or mutton prepared by Mr. Kimb?ll' s second wife, Melissa Burton Coray Kimball.

CORRESPONDENCE January 30, 1974 Mrs. Seymour Wells 337 South 11th East Salt Lake City, Utah 84102 Dear Mrs. Wells: Here is your request for the names of the owners of the Kimball Hotel and Stage Stop. They are Blaine Bitner and Milton O. 3itner~ 1846 Westminster Ave. & 1878 So. 11 East. If there 1s anything else we can do for you ~ please let us know. Sincerely, Kent Powell Preservation Historian KP/bb UTAH STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY 603 EAST SOUTH TEMPLE, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84102 May 5, 1971 Mr. Blaine Bitner 1846 Westminster Avenue Salt Lake City, Utah 84108 Dear Mr. Bitner: Hlth the cooperation of the Governor's Historic and Cultural Sites Review COfl~tttee, an official Utah Historic Site Harker has been designed. The enclosed picture will give you an idea of its appearance. {One minor correction should be noted: the :Jo. 1 at the bottom has been changed to I·l-l, mean I n9 Uat Iona 1 Register Site i~umber One, to be used in correlating the marking program with brochures to be given to tourists and travelers visiting Utah's historic sites. (The traveler who sees a marker-- i ~-l, [1-2, etc.--can turn to his brochure for additional data.) The hard aluminum alloy plaque wi 1 I be about 15 11 X 19;:. The darker portions are a dark bronze, the lighter ones gold, which make a lovely marker. Through an electrostatic process, the lettering and design are etched Into the metal. Hence, it is strongly resistant to scratches and normal public abuse short of direct, vicious vandalism. It appears completely Impervious to weathering. As no funds have been allowed in our preservation budget for "markers," we are appealing to counties, communities, groups and Individuals to purchase and install these plaques. The cost Is $105.00 and Includes the plaque mounted on a post ready for Installation. It Is suggested that a hole be dug Into which concrete is poured, then the stand Inserted into the concrete unti I the "guide line" is level wi th the surface of the ground, a simple and uniform way to place all the markers. ~e shall be happy to assist in this activity. For your site, we are suggesting the following historical data: KIMBALL STAGE STOP AND BARNS Oullt In 1862 by William H. Kimball.
