Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Star Valley Wyoming: Anyone ever lived there??

I remember the old cheese factory. Are they still processing cheese there? I did not think they were. Not many dairy farms in Star Valley anymore are there? I am thinking maybe two or three?? How is Freedom Arms doing in this recession, if anyone knows?

I was born and raised there. 4th generation of people to do so. Family owns a ranch in Etna. No finer place on earth IMO. But it is a tuff place to make a living.

My fathers family came from there, mothers came from Paris id. Cold in the winter but beautiful in the four month summer. Guess there is going to be a temple in Etna in the near future. The Utes come through in droves in he summer. Wish I was able to spend more time there as a kid, before my father passed. Good luck.

Paris Idaho is a nice little town. My grandfather used to teach at the old Paris Academy back in the day. That would have been in the 20's I'm guessin. I'm told the foundation of the old building is still visible on the hillside. The old Paris Tabernacle is quite a fascinating structure. Bear Lake is beautiful country. Liked it better when there were more ranches and fewer condos.

Yes my mother graduated from the Academy, not sure 1st version or second, can't remember if it burned down before and after she went there or just after. The tabernacle is breathtaking, how they built that in the 1880's.

I hunted there a number of times in the late 80's.
My buddy's family was from there, he was also was related to some mink farmers that lived there by the last name of Chadwick.

Back then it seemed like two kind of folks lived there, those just making it and the wealthy that had vacation dream homes.

Beautiful country...

I did a guided Mule Deer hunt about 8 years ago in the Gray's River drainage. The country was beautiful. Nothing beats a high country, late season mule deer hunt.

Great hunting and fishing and close to even more great hunting and fishing.
