2025 Family Reunion
On April 3rd 1850, Ezra, Mary, and their three small children moved from their North Canyon cabin in present-day Bountiful, to a "rough cabin" six miles north on their farm in North Cottonwood Creek (present-day Farmington) –and here they stayed. This became the first permanent home in their lives.
This year marks 175 years since that day. Our 2025 Ezra T. Clark Family Reunion & Picnic will be held in Farmington, Utah on Saturday June 14th, from 9am to 2pm.
SUNRISE HIKE*
For the adventurous and energitic, we'll start the day with a sunrise hike to Flag Rock. All ages may participate. Meet at the trailhead at 6am. You'll get a good overview of the city that Ezra and family helped settle.
HISTORIC HOME TOUR
Guided walking tours of the historic Clark residences in the Clark Lane National Historic District begin at 8:30am until 10am. This tour is 4 blocks long and covers 15 sites: The location of the dugout and cabins to the beautiful turn-of-the-century Clark homes and businesses between the Main Street mercantile (FC&M) and the Clark farm (now 1-15 and Station Park).
This year we'll start our tour at Ezra T. Clark Park, (400 W) where we'll learn about the first three humble abodes built on the original 'Clark Lane' before constructing their permanent home of adobe bricks and stone a stone's throw away on the newly surveyed street in 1856 which still stands today.

Those who make it to the rock will be treated to a hot (or cold) breakfast. RSVP with the number in your group to 801-589-1617 by Sunday, June 1.
