This is a tiny town in the countryside surrounding Preston. It has been purposely preserved in it's 19th century ambiance. Telephone lines, etc are all underground! Apparently when Mormon missionaries first arrived to this area, nearly everyone in this town was converted. One missionary writes of his departure, stating that nearly the whole town came out to wave their handkerchiefs at him in goodbye. He had to stop several different times at the creek alongside the road to wash away his tears. Posted by Picasa
