 Stone Houses
In Willard City, south of Perry, along the famous
“Fruitway”, and at the base of Willard

historical architecture that is unique to the British Isles immigration to Utah. It is what
brings the taste of Wales
to what was then the Western Frontier. Found here are the greatest
concentration of Welch-styled stone houses anywhere in Utah.
These charming private residences were built by pioneers
and are now a part of the picturesque scenery on the drive between Brigham City and
Tremonton along state road 38. An absolute must-see. To take a self-guided

Railroad met and connected to the Union Pacific Railroad at Promontory,
Utah, it was the beginning of the end for the American frontier; the end of
the beginning for national unity. On May 10, every year, there is a
reenactment of the driving of the golden spike held at Promontory Utah.
