Diving down Mormon Row and Antelope Flats you will see a cluster of old homesteads constructed by Mormon Settlers from 1908 until 1950. The Mormon homesteaders began to arrive in the 1890s from Idaho, creating a community called "Grovont," with a total of 27 homesteads.

Mormon Row was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

This Bed and Breakfast on Mormon Row looks very inviting. I believe Mormon decedents live on the property and there are cabins to rent. You will enjoy seeing this beautiful old homestead as you explore Mormon Row.

These irrigation ditches you will see on Mormon Row were very important water source to the early Mormon families who farmer the area in the late in the early 1900's.
