NAME: Herbert COUNTY: Madison ROADS: 2WD GRID: 8 CLIMATE: Lots of snow in the winter BEST TIME TO VISIT: Late spring, summer, fall

COMMENTS: 10 Miles south of Rexburg REMAINS: School house, store and 6 houses

School and store supported the farmers and mines in the area, at one time approximately 150 people lived there, abandoned in the mid 1940's as most moved to rexburg or rigby. Most of the houses are found along the creek and not visible from the road. The two room building on the bluff was the store and operated until the early 30's. With the advent of the auto, Rexburg was no longer a days journey. Submitted by: Joe Lackey
