Communities
along the Headwaters heritage area are as diverse as their individual
traditions, but tied together by the common rivers and tributaries which
make the land in Southern Utah blossom. You will find tales of lost
gold and tiny towns where the spirit of hard working miners endures.
You will hear about settlers who crossed snow packed mountains walking
on handmade quilts to bring supplies to their starving families. In
Long Valley, residents welcome the chance to tell of their forefathers
who faithfully lived the United Order, an early Mormon lifestyle based
in sharing community resources...and everywhere the water runs from
the mountains to the streams to the rivers to the valleys.

Marysvale
84750
Originally settled in 1863, one colorful story
regarding the town's name involved Brigham Young. Young stopped here
on a trip south and enjoyed an evening of "stag" dancing, a common form
of entertainment where men danced together due to the lack of women.
He enjoyed himself so much; he named the town Merry Vale.
Marysvale has a rich mining heritage. Today Marysvale
is an access point for the Paiute ATV Trail. The town is home to the
Cottonwood Downs. Horse races are held in May every year. The World's
Greatest Little Rodeo and Pioneer Days parade and celebrations are held
on the 24th of July. All services are available. For more information

Kingston
84743
The little tree-covered town of Kingston is interesting
because of its unusual history where during the years 1878-1884, the

is a beautiful area for picnicking, camping, hiking and fishing. The
rock formations in the canyon are varied and interesting with many Indian
caves to explore. The town of Kingston is a treat to visit. It is beautifully
rural and has many historic and human interest sights. The crumbled
remains of three open air dance halls in the County are reminders of
the excitement and romance of the 1930 to 1950's. The open air dance
hall just outside of Kingston was called "PURPLE HAZE."It has had some
work done on it and has been used for dancing on special occasions through
the years. For more information see:

Circleville 84723
In 1864, Brigham Young sent fifty families to
this farming community under the direction of Mormon Apostle Orson Hyde.

of Piute County. Circleville lies in a pastoral setting along
US 89, and is surrounded by rugged mountain plateaus. The Paiute ATV
Trail runs through Circleville. All services are available.
Circleville boasts of their famous (or infamous),
George LeRoy Parker better known as Butch Cassidy, who spent his youth
there during the 1870's and 1880's and his boyhood home still stands,
near U.S. 89, two miles south of town and in the summer months it is
open for visitors. Piute County is Butch Cassidy Country in more ways
than one, and here he is thought of with a little more kindness and
tolerance than one might expect. It was in Circleville that he grew
up, and here that he learned how to change cattle brands and evade the
law. For more information see:
