Milford Utah
|
| |
|
Located 30 miles west of Beaver
is the small city of Milford. Due to its location it
has remained unknown to many Utah travelers. In its
early days Milford was nothing more than a few
shacks nearby the many mines that surround the area.
In 1880 Arvin Stoddard was Milford's first settler.
During the same time, prospectors were searching the
hills west and southwest for lead, silver, and gold.
Also during this time Milford became the railroad
terminal for the Southern Utah Line, which enhanced
Milford's importance as a supply station and the
shipping center for local mines and provided a
loading place for the cattle of southern Utah.

Today as you enter
Milford from the West the first structure your see is the
Historic Milford Hotel, constructed in 1913. On our visit we
were fortunate to meet the owners, Bryon Mccarty, Brent and Lynn
Severson, and Joy Tomlin. We
were invited in to take a tour of this historic building, and
Bryon was gracious enough to give us some history about the
building and the surrounding area. Currently the owners are
restoring this building with hopes that one day they can open it
up as a bed & breakfast.
