Jacob Hamblin Trip


 On Saturday we went to the Jacob Hamblin home in Santa Clara.  It was free admission and the tour guides were great.  The girls loved to look at the old wagon, run across the expansive lawn, and see the old chairs and tools.  We loved to hear the stories about Jacob and how he was instrumental in founding Southern Utah.  The home was built in 1863 in replacement of the old fort that was washed away in a flood.  It sits on a hill looking out over the Santa Clara River and valley.  We heard lots of stories about this great pioneer, and about his wives and the struggles they faced.  Did you know Jacob was in the cowboy hall of fame? Visit the site to find out why.  It was a lovely place to visit for the afternoon. 

The first three people to find out why Jacob Hamblin is in the Cowboy hall of fame as well as when he first came to southern Utah will win a ten or five dollar gift card to walmart. But you have to text me with your response. 435-512-1945 If you are one of the three winners I will request your name and address as well as post the winners on my blog with the time that you text me. First and second place will receive ten dollar gift cards and third place will receive a five dollar card. Good Luck!! J
