Cache Valley Photo Scavenger Hunt! 16 Family History Sites you've got to visit!


Here are some clever clues for family history sites throughout Cache Valley.  Get a head start!  We'll post a map for a little help.  Those who complete the game (with photos in tow) will be entered into a prize drawing at the reunion for a "taste of cache valley" gift basket.  Best of luck to you! 

Clues:
1)            “L. L. Miller & Sons” was the original name;
                        Slaughtering pigs is how they grew in fame.

2)            The best beef around cut by “E. A.  & Sons;”
                        Shipped ‘round the country and won blue ribbons.

3)            Pulling a handcart through heat, mud and snow;
Her house is still standing, where she watched her kids grow.
           
4)            Standing here on hallowed ground,
Seven (at least) ancestors can be found.

5)            Here’s yer sign!
Two roads bear the family name.

6)            Where her children were married, Marinda did care.
Two were in Salt Lake; the rest of them here.

7)            Put a “spring in your step!”  Be prompt for your date.
This iconic place taught the “two-step” to music ‘til late.

8)            This Miller business has added thousands of jobs to the town.
A display of its history in the museum can be found.

9)            Famous for their chocolates and food of all sort.
Don’t forget to order & drink that “iron port.”

10)         South of the dam—children, gardens, cooking & baking;
The old Miller homestead—only rock walls still standing.

11)         “We’ll place them on the map, boys!  Hurrah for South Cache High!”
Where purple & white proudly flew in the valley’s clear blue sky.

12)         From sun-up to sundown, farming winter wheat;
Take a break and in Blue Creek go soak your aching feet.

13)         Dugouts for shelter lived the Andersen family.
Built into the hillside when Andrew entered the valley.

14)         Conditions at Camp Hollow, not being prime,
Forced the settlers to move one more time. 
To the middle of town in a fort-style layout,
Two cabins are still standing.  Go check them out!

15)         Show me the Scotsman who doesn’t love the thistle.
Show me an Englishman who doesn’t love the rose.
Show me a true-blooded Aggie from Utah
Who doesn’t love the spot…where the sagebrush grows!

Extra Credit—
                        Louis T. said no better car could they build.
                        Now the car’s icon is a tri-shield.
