experience the history in comfort

The Henry & Sarah Ann Robinson Holyoak Wagon Encampment display located at the Bluff Fort depicts living accommodations for the Holyoak family for four years before they moved on to settle in what is now known as Moab. They settled into an area called Poverty Flats and were instrumental in building up the community.

The wagon home for the Holyoak's was pretty rough by today's standards...about the size of a twin bed, the box stored their few possessions and provided shelter from the weather. Often found along the San Juan River, the Holyoak wagon was heated by a wood stove while cooking was done outside over a campfire.
