A Vital Link in Basin History. 🗝️🏔️

The Duchesne Stage & Transportation Company didn't just transport people; it connected our communities. Their route went between Colton, Ft. Duchesne, Roosevelt, Myton, and Duchesne. This photo from 1917 shows just one of their buses, which could hold up to twenty-five people.

Our ancestors were tough! What stories have been passed down in your family about getting from town to town back then?

Today would've been the 160th birthday of Butch Cassidy! 🎂 Born Robert Leroy Parker on April 13, 1866, in Beaver County, he would go on to become one of the most well-known bank and train robbers in the American West.

With his gang, the “Wild Bunch,” Cassidy carried out robberies across the region in the late 1800s. Although he evaded capture for much of his life, he was arrested four times in 1897 in Carbon County.

We’ve digitized these Seventh District Court indictment records from Carbon County, which you can browse in our Digital Archives: bit.ly/3jDPI7S

A firm foundation for a bright future. 🧱✨

On April 12, 1953, a dedication and cornerstone ceremony was held outside the Baptist Church. The main address was delivered by Dr. Willis J. Ray, Executive Secretary of the Baptist Convention of Arizona. The cornerstone laying ceremony was organized by a committee led by Chairman R.L. Pendergrass, alongside Paul Guillory, Sr., G.F. Thornhill, Mrs. L.T. Peyton, and Pastor Nolan N. Beaird. Evangelist Earl Bigelow of Lakeside, California, served as the leader for the revival.
