Jacob Hamblin Home

Jacob Hamblin built this stone house in 1863 after a flash flood wiped out his family's earlier home at Fort Clara. It became headquarters for the Southern Utah Indian Mission and hosted visitors including Brigham Young and John Wesley Powell. Guided tours walk through rooms furnished in 1860s style and talk about frontier family life.
