piutereservCommunities 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 see: http://www.marysvale.org

The old woolen mill, grist mill, etc., stood for many years but all were burned in a fire. Kingston 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.

Alton 84710

Alton was originally known as Roundys Station for the settler who built two log cabins at the town site.  Later named Graham for a pioneer who was a bookkeeper for a local sawmill, the town earned its current name when a two-year-old child drew the name from a hat in 1912.  The Alton Fjord in Norway inspires the name.

Fisher Rock and Jewelry Shop

Orderville Mine Rock Shop
(South End of Town)

This shop has one of the truly great rock gardens we have seen.  Just walking along the paths from one pile rocks to another pile of a different type is an experience.  Rock hounding has been part of Utah's heritage for longer than anyone can remember and this shop is a tribute to the hobby.  Inside rocks and minerals from Utah and around the world are polished and displayed.  There are also wonderful gift items.
