Past Saturday, after having breakfast at Magleby’s, I invited the fam to finally check out the Ophir Historic District.
I’ve been wanting to go there for a few years, and every summer I add it to my bucket list, and it never happens.
We drove for forty nine miles imagining how fun it would be to get in the village’s houses and talk to the people who still live there- 50 to be more exact.
But once we got there, everything was CLOSED. After talking to a local, we found out the district has been closed indefinitely. I was bummed, not gonna lie.
It was a big disappointment, specially because the historic district is darn cute, and we’d have loved to get in the houses, and buy snacks and suvenir at their local store.
Ophir Historic District please reopen your doors!!!

Ophir was a mining town that was founded in 1870 when silver was found. As soon as that silver dried up, everyone left. Well, not everyone…
