A step into the past....


"The Last Of The Old West....."

Spending the whole summer in Wyoming was amazing. Along with all the neat finds and places, I found one particular that amazed me. Mormon Row is a group of buildings, from the 1900s. I found one spectacular book called "Legacy of the Tetons, Homesteading in Jackson Hole." By Candy Vyvey Moulton. Who is the author of this book, she married one of the relatives to the original row owners.
Upon my first visit to the Mormon Row, I saw buffalo enjoying the shade from the barns and houses. Then when I went closer I saw why this place is so amazing. These farmers must have been pretty darn good barn and house builders, to build a place that will withstand this much time.
This is one of my favorite stories, the one of Clark and Veda Moulton. They were the recent relatives from the Mormon Row, they lived there the last.
The Moultons owned both the barn and this first stucco house.
Some of these other homesteads were very beautiful. I'd love to share each story but they are too long and it'll ruin the fun.
