Description

An rusted antique wringer washer found behind the historic Gifford farmhouse in Capitol Reef in southern Utah. A relic from days gone by.
**********
From nps.gov: "The Gifford farm lies in the heart of the Fruita valley, a desert oasis described by Wallace Stegner as "...a sudden, intensely green little valley among the cliffs of the Waterpocket Fold, opulent with cherries, peaches, and apples in season, inhabited by a few families who were about equally good Mormons and good frontiersmen and good farmers."� The 200 acre Fruita Rural Historical District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

From capitolreef.org: "Capitol Reef National Park lies in Utah�s south-central desert, an oasis of colorful sandstone cliffs, impressive domes, and soaring monoliths. Once called �Wayne Wonderland,� the park got its name in part from the great white rock formations which resemble the U.S. Capitol building, and from the sheer cliffs that presented a barrier to early travelers. Early inhabitants referred to the area as the �land of the sleeping rainbow� because of its beautiful contrasts: multi-colored sandstone surrounded by verdant riverbanks and arid desert vegetation, all nestled beneath deep blue skies. The area was designated as a national monument in 1937 and reclassified as a national park in 1971. The park is open year-round. "
