While visiting the Idaho Falls, Idaho area this summer I made a visit to what was once Taylor, Idaho (now part of Idaho Falls). While there I was able to obtain some new photos and learn a little more about the family homestead.

The photo above shows in the background the home of John & Alice Hansen and in the foreground a couple of individuals that I am not able to identify along with some horses. To the right of the house is 10 acres of apple trees they attempted to grow but later abandoned. While visiting I also took a picture of the home shown above as it looks today.

The home is currently owned by John Hansen's grandson, Sheron Hansen, who still owns 80 acres of the original 160 acres homesteaded by John and Alice Hansen. It was a great experience to be on the ground my ancestors worked so hard to cultivate and make their home.
