Description

Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy..

In Capital Reef National Park along the scenic drive is the Historic Gifford Homestead. The Gifford's were the last residents of Fruita and as Dewey Gifford sold his home in 1969 to the National Park Service, the cultural landscape of Fruita as a farming community forever changed. Today the Capitol Reef Natural History Association, in cooperation with the National Park Service, strives to create the pioneer spirit of Fruita which can be experienced by visiting the Gifford Homestead and enjoying a fresh baked pie, cinnamon roll, and other daily baked goods.
The atmosphere of the Gifford Homestead offers a unique ambiance as one sits under cottonwood trees, walks along the Fremont River, and explores the nearby fruit orchards. In addition to the farmhouse, the Gifford Homestead includes a barn,smokehouse, orchard, pasture, and rock walls. 1023
