While the title may say Afton, indeed the first six members of the Afton Heritage Committee’s Hall of Fame did much more than simply stay in Afton. They founded the very basis for life in Star Valley and went a long way towards determining the stability of this area.
From building schools, businesses and churches, these early settlers also developed water systems, power infrastructure and trade routes that today’s citizens still owe much of their lifestyle.
The Afton Heritage Committee will induct their inaugural Hall of Fame class this Saturday as part of Independence Day celebrations and as part of the Afton Civic Center’s Grand Opening.
