Hebron & Enterprise

"The Ranch"


My Grandpa Hunt farmed the Terry Ranch up the Canyon from Enterprise.


We spent a lot of time playing in the creek and having lunch in the camp trailer that is hidden in the trees. I remember watching him cut hay with the old, no cab, swather and picking corn . . . lots of corn.





Terry Ranch Stage Coach Barn. No family history here, I just think it is a cool building.



Enterprise Reservoir's. This is the Dam at the Lower Reservoir. When we were younger we would walk across it. It is about 2 1/2 feet wide all the way across. Water on one side and a . . . long . . . way. . . down on the other! Amazing story about my Grandpa Hunt: He would saddle a couple horses, loading salt blocks on one, and ride across the Dam to get salt to the cattle on the mountain. I have a hard time walking across it as it is!



Upper Reservoir. My Great-Grandpa, Elmer Hunt, helped build the dam for the Upper Reservoir. He had one of the only team and wagons that could do a specific job. The original Upper Dam looked much like the present day Lower Dam. Now the Upper Dam is an all-dirt structure.

Hebron, Utah


Hebron was once located up the canyon from Enterprise. Flooding, Indians, and an earthquake finally sent settlers down the canyon to establish present day Enterprise. The cemetery is the only thing that remains of this town.


My Great-Great Grandma. Her infant daughter is also buried here.
