I have heard the massacre story several times over the years from my Grandpa and my Dad. The old Parker home (cabin) is still standing in a field just barely out of Circleville to the south, at the opening of Circleville canyon. While it's true that many of your photos of old homes are from Junction I found your info accurate and very enjoyable. Thanks for noticing our beautiful little towns and for the great pictures and article!!
