Reunion

A view of Farmington from Flag Rock above Farmington City. Join us at the trailhead, located at 359 E 100 N for a sunrise hike on Saturday, June 14th at 6:00AM.

A view of Farmington City and Antelope Island in Farmington Bay from Flag Rock which juts out 1,370 ft above State Street (Clark Lane). This is the same height as New York's twin towers. Total elevation above sea level is 5,670 feet.

A view of the South Trail approach to Flag Rock above Farmington, Utah, about a mile (5,280 ft) above sea level. This side of the mountain range and valley below is known as the 'Wasatch Front'.

Farmington Academy, c. 1910 at approx. 160 West State Street. Once the city's smaller one room schools throughout the town became inadequate, a much larger, central school was built a few hundred feet east the original adobe school at 184 West Clark Lane. The new school was designed by noted local architect William Allen. It was demolished in the 1940s and the location remains a vacant pasture today.

Students pose at the entrance of Farmington Academy, c. 1910. Most of Ezra's grandchildren attended this school. Do you recognize any of your ancestors?

This is a rare photograph, likely taken in the 1930s or 1940s, of pedestrians exiting and entering an electric railcar from the Bamberger Station. This stop was likely located on 200 West and State in Farmington Utah. Constructed in the 1890s, the Bamberger would serve the farming communities between Salt Lake and Ogden. It was officially discontinued as a passenger operation in 1952, and freight operations were also discontinued in 1958.

This is the original "Davis County Bank" where presently the Wells Fargo Bank stands on State St. and Main Street in Farmington, Utah.

Save the Date! June 13–14th, 2025 Family Reunion

This year's reunion marks the 175th anniversary of Clarks settling in Farmington

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. Except for Ezra's missions and a few months in central Utah during the 'Utah War', Farmington became the first permanent home in their lives and where Ezra, Mary, Susan and 16 of their 21 children would remain or return. (16 are buried at Farmington Cemetery, five are buried within 20 miles and Elder John Alexander is buried at Haifa, Palestine)

This year marks 175 years since that move!

Our 2025 Ezra T. Clark Family Reunion will kick off in the Layton Utah Temple on the evening of June 13th. Activities will begin the following day on Saturday June 14th from 6AM until 2PM at the Farmington Rock Church, located at 272 N. Main Street.
