Huntsville

Since we were out and about, I had a few historical markers for us to find on the way home. We focused on Huntsville.

We found the marker for Jefferson Hunt, whom the town was named after.

Mary Smith, who delivered more than 1500 babies including 9 of her own.

This is a monument to the residents of Huntsville. All of these were at a great city park.

Across the street, we found the monument to original settlers of Huntsville, who were mostly Danish.

In front of the Aldous cabin, closed for tours on Sundays.

A fountain in the park. (I'm not sure the significance of this, but it was on the list.)

Lastly, there should have been a marker here about Utah's first free school teacher, but it seems to be gone, along with the Valley School. We were pretty disappointed that the school has been torn down. This was the first school were Grandpa DeYoung was a principal. He used to drive here every day from Ogden. I had hoped for a picture.

After checking out the monuments, we spent a few minutes in the great city park. It had this very slick and speedy old slide built into a tree.

Bella after making it across the monkey bars and back!

We drove by the boyhood home of David O. McKay on our way out of town, but didn't stop. We did stop at Snow Basin which was beautiful and had a little lunch at The Oaks. What a busy and fun weekend!
