Town #31: MARYSVALE est. 1863

Marysvale is on the northern end of the Sevier Valley. This little town has connections with the mining industry. In the late 1800s there were gold mines up the canyon to the west of Marysvale. Marysvale sneaks up on you when you are driving because it is just on the other side of a ridge. One minute it isn't there and the next it is.

Town #30: JUNCTION est. 1880

Isn't that just a cool old sign? Junction has several cool old things about it like the old county courthouse and an art deco gas station that is hiding in a grove of trees. We drove thru Junction on the last day of their Butch Cassidy Days. I was sad to hear that we missed out on the parade.

Town #29: CIRCLEVILLE est. 1864

Just across the Piute County line, we came to the little town of Circleville. Its biggest claim to fame is that the outlaw Butch Cassidy grew up on a ranch just south of town. His family cabin still stands in a grove of trees, but it isn't marked as such. We stopped at one of the strangest antique shops here. It was housed in a shed, and our presence was announced by a howling pack of dogs behind a fence next door.
