Why this spot

1880-1970s Northwestern Shoshone farm settlement

Founded in 1880 by the LDS Church as a farming settlement for the Northwestern Shoshone, survivors of the 1863 Bear River Massacre, and home to most of the band through the 20th century. Residents were gone by the mid-1970s and the property was sold to a private ranch.View source →
