- The detail on some of these early aerial photos of Page and Glen Canyon Dam are amazing. In this one, I give you an aerial tour of the town of Page as it appeared in the early 1960s.
Mike, my parents moved to Page in 1970. I was 10 years old. 925 Castle Rock was are first home (a Bechtel trailer brought in for the construction workers). Spent a lot of time in your back yard. I rode my Honda 50 a lot in that area and the old corrals. Looking at the old photos, things had changed so much by 1970!
Thanks for preserving Page's history.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I was born and raised in Page, and it's really something to see what's been there from nearly the start.
You're welcome. Thanks for stopping by.
Great recap Mike! Nice to revisit all the old play areas around town.
Thanks Shane. It's good to hear from you!
That's really cool .Thanks for sharing
Nicely done. Born in Page 1964, 324 Date St. Kind of a newby I guess. Have been drawn back twice now since moving away. This is home.
Thanks Marc!
Wasn't a Page visitor, that I recall, but in mid-50s I spent a summer in Scottsdale, with visits to family friends around there and up to Mayer. Clumb Camelback before any trail, visited Taliesin West when it was way out there.
Thanks for memorializing this area. As a Clamper, I'm involved with monumental erections for people, places and things out West.
This is great. I was born in Page, April 1, 1963. No Foolin' Thank you for sharing this.
Hey Mikey! Bob & I watched this video twice and thoroughly enjoyed it! With me being SO much younger (lol), there was a lot of history that I either never knew or only knew because had heard Gene or others reminisce about it.
As for that spot where the cinder block type (unfinished) building was, never ever knew what it was supposed to be or why it was abandoned.
Thank you for all the time & effort you put into these.
Thanks Mike. Good job! I remember all that.
Love these pics and videos.
I LOVED this video! I was there as a child, it was so special to see these pictures and hear your commentary. I started school there, first thru third grade, and lived in the trailer court near you, on "J" st. When you said that open area was your backyard, I totally related, I explored back there also! Wow. So cool to see all this. I also went to the corals, and the drive-in theater where we saw "The Greatest Story Ever Told". My mom was an extra (I read that lots of the towns people were extra's) I have my mom's paycheck stub. My dad worked on the dam until it finished and we moved away in the summer of 64.
Thank you for making this!
Thank you so much for the tour. My family moved to Page in 1960 when I was 10 years old. I left in 1968. I was just the other day telling my husband about Rose Lake. Wasn’t there a golf course nearby? Shortly after this photo was taken, my dad and another USBR employee were tasked with planting all the trees in the park.
Hey Mike, it was you and I that climbed down into that caved in shaft and found that rolled up string hanging on a nail. Never have heard anything about how that shaft came about. Must’ve gone pretty far in because there was quite a bit of string wrapped on that stick.
This is some amazing historical pics. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed that! Thank you for sharing this Mike.
cool history
Mike, this photo had to be taken in 1960 sometime. I went to school from 1958-1960 in the Butler Buildings and started 9th grade high school in 1960 in the new school. Really enjoy your posts about the great little Town of Page.
My Family moved there in early spring 1964. We lived on Date Street until 1971. My dad ran Cedar Glass and Partners Upholstery.
This is pretty cool, my grandpa told stories about the development of Page. He was there for the construction of thee dam, before there was pavement and businesses. Only a small pop-up store (maybe it was Page market) for the construction workers.
Mike. The old Page Market was in what is now Fred's, etc. After it was Page Market Warners moved their Firestone Store there, then evolved into the present Warner enterprises.
Thank you Mike, I live on frist Ave now
