Heres a few pics from memorial day in Samaria Idaho. My grandfather is buried there. My grandma grew up In Samaria.

I only took a few pics because it was raining and I didn't want to ruin my camera.

The first pic here should show you the size of the community. This is the phone book hanging up in the Blue Goose.

It's only one page

Seriously

This is the famous "Blue Goose" store.

"

Clarence Hughes runs this charming 1892 store, which was moved to the town park in Samaria to keep it from being torn down. It’s a popular hangout for school kids and farmers in the afternoon. He sells local crafts, cookbooks, candy and sodas, and has video rentals. Historic photos and newspaper clippings adorn the walls and make for fascinating browsing as well."

It use to be a pool hall

http://www.maladidaho.org/samaria.htm

this site has more info on Samaria Idaho.

Samaria Idaho is in the Malad Valley near Malad Idaho.

"
Today, Malad Valley has the largest per capita concentration of people of Welsh ancestry outside the country of Wales itself. For that reason, many residents of the Valley wanted to reestablish their Welsh roots. In 2005, after a 90 year break, this annual cultural event, now called the Malad Valley Welsh Festival, once again became a reality. The 2007 Festival exceeded all expectations and goals set forth by the organizing committee and that of the Malad Valley Welsh Society which was formed in 2004." http://www.welshfestival.com/

A plaque on the sidewalk of the kitchen.

The home site has been set up as a memorial of the family to help preserve history.
