BECOME A PART OF HISTORICAL STEPHENS GULCH

JOHN AND ELIZABETH STEPHENS HOMESTEADED THIS LAND IN 1869.

THE STEPHENS BROTHERS TRAVELED TO THE SALMON RIVER COUNTRY

FROM MALAD, IDAHO, GOING IN SEVERAL DIRECTIONS – ONE TO MONTANA, ONE TO SALMON, AND JOHN WITH WIFE ELIZABETH TO

CHALLIS.

THE OLD HOME PLACE, WHICH STILL STANDS WITH THATCHED ROOF CAVING IN, STARTED AS A TWO ROOM CABIN, AND GREW WITH THE

FAMILY. AT ONE TME, AS THE STORY GOES, ALL THE NEIGHBORS (WHO WERE FEW!) BARRICADED THEMSELVES IN THE HOMEPLACE, ARMED

WITH ONE SHOT GUN, A HAND FULL OF SHELLS, PITCHFORKS AND SHOVELS. THE LOCAL INDIANS WERE ON THE WARPATH!

THE OLD HOME PLACE WAS ALSO THE HOT SOCIAL SPOT! SATURDAY NIGHT DANCES BROUGHT FOLKS FROM NEAR AND FAR FOR AN EVENING OF DANCE AND MUSIC. TOMMY STEPHENS, WHO ALSO HOMESTEADED PART OF STEPHENS GULCH, WOULD HOLD HIS HANDS HIGH IN THE AIR

AND SWOOP DOWN ON THE KEYS OF THE OLD PUMP ORGAN (ON JUST THE RIGHT NOTE!) TO START THE EVENING OFF! HISTORY HAS IT THAT

THE OLD PUMP ORGAN WAS CARTED OUT TO THE PAHSIMEROI FOR SIMILAR GET TOGETHERS!

IN ADDITION TO RUNNING A HORSE RANCH, JOHN HAD A FREIGHT BUSINESS, WITH SUPPLY RUNS UP TO THE MINING TOWN OF CUSTER AND

THE YANKEE FORK.

ELIZABETH STEPHENS SMITH, WHO WAS MARRIED TO LEROY STEPHENS, LIVED IN THE OLD FARMHOUSE JUST NORTH OF THE HOMEPLACE. IT WAS BUILT IN 1919 AND SHE HAD IT COMPLETELY RENNOVATED IN

LATER YEARS. SHE NOW LIVES IN WEST HAVEN, UTAH.
