Jacob Hamblin Home

Known as a missionary and friend of the Indians, Jacob Hamblin played an integral role in helping smooth relations between Indians and Mormon settlers throughout the West and in establishing the cotton mission in Southern Utah. He served as both a peacekeeper and a community builder.

OK, I copied that from the internet but it told a quick history of Jacob Hamblin so well that I just had to use it.  Ever since my parents bought their home in St. George I have wanted to visit the Jacob Hamblin home in Santa Clara, which is really close to where my parents house is.  Well, this time that we all went down for Memorial Day, we went to tour his home for our Sunday Activity.  It was really interesting.  After reading a little bit about Jacob Hamblin in the book "Undaunted" I was excited to see the home and grounds.  I got a couple of pictures of the home and I really love the one with the Sister Missionary on the front porch.  What a great mission to tell people about a church site.  Hopefully someday Shawn and I will get that great opportunity.

Hollyhocks in full bloom at Jacob Hamblin home.  Mine in Salt Lake are barely a foot high.  Sigh!!!!

After visiting the Jacob Hamblin home we went on a Awesome hike to see the petroglyphs.  This was the view from the middle, I think I was too caught up in the view at the top to actually get a picture :)  That is Shawn in the picture.

ME!!  At the top.  Beautiful View behind me.
