A Forgotten Town in Southern Utah

[@tictacjak5247]

Yet another cool video of an old mining town, join Sally and the affable Marty on a tour of historic Milford, Utah. A must see! I ❤these videos!

[@SightseeingSally]

Thanks!! 😄

[@billwilliams5889]

It is nice that you are documenting the history of these towns because it helps bring a level of respect for those who helped build America.

The Milford Lions Club meets in former Union Pacific dining car 4053, built by Pullman in 1929 as Union Pacific 326. It was rebuilt in 1946 to a maintenance-of-way dining car.

[@SightseeingSally]

I guess that means Marty’s observation was on the right track and I get the wa wa wa waaaa 🎺

[@minivanman2222]

think they built them in Chicago area. Wonder if the original Diners Car design was based on this ?

[@seanyancy1809]

Always delightful and informative fun with Sally and Marty. Thank you to both of you fun kids.

[@gregboyden564]

what a wonderful world we live in. thanks for unearthing these hidden towns that are forgotten in time

[@bonniekaye]

*So glad that they are restoring the old Milford Hotel!*

[@SightseeingSally]

Me, too!

[@1954shadow]

A “Fix-er-Upper” video series on Marty’s channel of a classic camper, would be bodacious!

[@oldtop4682]

There are a couple of those showing folks fixing up the old Airstreams. They aren't easy to restore, as nothing is square - but they are really cool trailers!

[@lesliegriffith9830]

You should check out Beaver Utah also on I15. It has been over 25 years since we stayed there but it has a few interesting old houses. We took a tour of the old town hall and the elderly tour guide claimed to be Butch Cassidays cousin and insisted strongly that Butch did return and did not die in Bolivia. His large family came from that area.

[@SightseeingSally]

Spoiler alert 🚨 that episode is next. Stay tuned!!!

[@edvalentine5127]

Your very informative and interesting videos keep coming and coming. You and Marty are so professional but also add humor which becomes addictive! Good going, Sally. Love you guys!

[@oldtop4682]

I forgot something. I live in NC these days, and there was quite a push to move hog farms out of some areas of the state a few years back. Smithfield moved some of their operations to Milford. The main cause of the problems in NC were the hog lagoons and folks complaining that they were leaching into waterways. Honestly, I think the main problem was the smell and we have a lot of folks from other places that have moved here not realizing what hog farms smell like. NC still produces a lot of pork though, and the hubbub settled down to virtual silence now. Smithfield was bought out by a Chinese company btw.

[@williamjensen365]

Do they still have that giant pork farm on the outskirts of Milford? That fragrance was truly memorable!

[@badgerpa9]

Marty the Town of Siren ironically had sirens for tornados that didn't work when a tornado hit in the late 1990s, you should check it out, much of the town was damaged by the tornado. They may still have one sitting around, I know they attempted to get them all working after the tornado. The phone company was responsible with getting them working, by now they likely have a different system. Nice little town, Thank you guys for the video.

[@playhooky]

I swear I think I remember hearing about that on the national news at the time!

[@amyjacob2100]

Siren, WI tornado was in June 2001. My husband and I were in that area a few days before the town got mostly leveled by that tornado. We were shocked at the damage when we went back later and only a handful of the old buildings were still standing.

[@richardbeee]

I stand. Corrected on your last video. It was first an underground collapse. Later they came back to try to open pit it and it collapsed also. Great job on Milford. Who would have guessed that's how it got named. Always enjoy 😉 😊

[@SightseeingSally]

Appreciate the update, thanks!

[@128titanic]

Hi, Sally. Thank you for your video. Best wish and Happy the week. ❤

[@SightseeingSally]

Thank you! You too!

[@franklinerickson449]

the Union Pacific building was the train Depot. AM track used to have a stop here in the laten70 early 80, it was from salt lake to las vegas but no longer runs

[@oldtop4682]

I think that white cart may have been an ice cart as opposed to an ice cream cart. Just a thought. I haven't been to Milford in years, but lived for 3-4 years not far (in western terms) away. There was/is copper ore in those hills, and the area there is the only place in Utah that produces gold in any real quantity these days. Still some semi-active mining. The Great Basin NP is not far from there, and I hope you guys went to visit it. Just the drive to it goes through some fascinating geology and ecosystems.

[@onrycodger]

The algorythm is Strong with this one! It's so nice I watched it twice. Thumbs up!😎👍

[@ronnyvonallmen6892]

Blooming Grove, now Monona Wi had a similar Siren at the corner of What is now Dean Ave and Monona Drive…I remember it sounding every day at noon…Then it was replaced with a modern “Rotating” Horn style Siren..To us, the Original was an “Iconic” Remembrance to our childhood…Now the Siren is gone, having been relocated to the City Hall with the resemblance of a Cheap Electronic Device!…Sounding only on the “First” Monday of every Month…..Ho hum…Great Episode!

[@SightseeingSally]

Thank you 😊 Iconic is right!

[@apocyldoomer]

That old fashioned Storm door with the grates in front of the window, is another “ Stuff that doesn’t exist anymore” haha, I remember those storm doors way back in the day, I’m an old fart! I have to continue to watch y’all video, BTW, it was @ 1:12, I forgot to type that! Happy Trails y’all!

[@howitzer8946]

We have a Smithfield processing plant in nearby Monmouth IL

[@playhooky]

Hello there fellow Sightseeing Sally follower, I live in Galesburg. You? And sadly in my opinion, our nearby Smithfield plant is the ONLY Non-Union one they operate. Corporate has the plant bosses tell the employees there that if they hear any talk of unionizing, they'll just close the plant.

[@glennoconnor2980]

Also Smithfield operates a fresh pork plant in Milan MO. Smithfield is owned by a Chinese firm.

[@SightseeingSally]

And the plot thickens…

[@minivanman2222]

now owned by the CCP ..Chinese

[@minivanman2222]

wonder if the Cart was used by Mormans migrating to Salt Lake ? 🤔

[@joannunemaker6332]

Such a cute town. Very scenic. I enjoyed this video. Hi to Sally and Marty.😊❤

[@SightseeingSally]

Hellooo there!

[@JohnShinn1960]

When I seen the Milford Hotel I thought this was a repost. Turns out someone else did a recent video on Oceola Nevada with the hotel at the beginning. Thanks for the tour Sally and Marty! Milford Utah here I come! (On a Google Earth wallet of course. 🥺)

[@SightseeingSally]

I’m pretty sure I remember replying to you about this but my comment doesn’t appear so maybe I didn’t??

[@JohnShinn1960]

@@SightseeingSally You did post a reply Sally, I forgot exactly why but I deleted my oringinal post which had the channel's name as opposed to "someone", then reposted.

[@DeeMoback]

I really like that water tower.....would look good in my backyard

[@SightseeingSally]

I’m sure it would lol 😂

[@joesteele7514]

Outstanding video

[@1954shadow]

The “Gypsy” line from Marty, my mom told me the same thing, lol!

[@SightseeingSally]

hahaha 😂

[@annclayton3420]

" ice cream cart carrier. Bahahaha.you guys are funny. Very interesting. Keeping me informed. Utah is beautiful

[@garybryant6148]

Hi Sally and Marty. I noticed at the building with the arch the gas meter was still attached.

[@badgerpa9]

Looked like power and phone was not disconnected from that end of the building.

[@SightseeingSally]

Good eyes! I believe we may have missed that.

[@psal8715]

Milford is full of weird people, its worth being forgotten. Sincerely, a resident of Southern Utah

[@bryantint1339]

You hit the road fast. I am still preparing. King County, Washington.

[@stucook8622]

[@shinynblue]

[@tplugnickel]

[@SightseeingSally]

[@robertmoir5695]

To be honest I know Milford Utah quite well

[@searkpslendorman]

Cool! tell Marty "HI!"

[@SightseeingSally]

Thanks! Marty says hey.

[@gladegoodrich2297]

After moving to So.Utah 35 years ago, I was told for good Chinese food I had to drive to Milford. So I loaded the wife and kids and off to Milford we went. Next day my friend ask how was it? My reply was nothing special! Then he said you ate at the wrong one. I coulden't believe him that there were two Chinese restaurants in Milford.😖

[@juliogonzales5441]

THANKS SALLY ❤AND MARTY 😅

[@jamesrockford6700]

Great video

[@SightseeingSally]

Thanks!

[@davidcarlisle6244]

Take the Train. Passenger cars would have water and waste tanks for the restrooms. As large as that one? maybe on a cross country route. Not intending to replace Marty as resident adviser.

[@jameslockard6956]

I hope that you and Wonderhussy can do something together😅

[@SteveAustin-jp3ev]

Wonder Hussy is a pathetic lunatic

[@justnerdystuff]

Grumble, grumble, grumble,..oh I'm not grumbling because I want to know why you think it's Smithfield has advertising there - my stomach is grumbling...I;m hungry...I'll be right back....ok, on with the show.

[@SightseeingSally]

Oh goodie, it’s snack time! What are we having?

[@howardsutton826]

Good old Smithfield oh owned by the Chinese so if you buy that brand will you get it

[@garylines5755]

Be careful in those little mormon towns they don't like you and sister wives are a thing in southern Utah even today.

[@EmmyHolm]

What are you talking about, Milford loves visitors. Milford is actually a very welcoming town if you are kind to people. And Milford doesn’t have any “sister wives”. And even if they did, I’ve met sister wives in Utah, they won’t talk to you if you don’t talk to them. And they aren’t rude at all.
