My Neighbor and I got to go for a ride with my Grandpa out through eastern Nevada.  One of the really cool spots on the trip was Modena, Utah, This cool old town that my Grandpa would stop in back in the 40’s to grab a bite to eat. The water tower is the first thing that you see while driving up the highway, it was used to fill the steam powered locomotives with the water they needed.

This house  is one of the 13 residences currently being lived in.

I’m not sure how old this building is, but I would guess that it is nearing the century mark.

This is the Modena School house.  Check out the craftsmanship of the rock work.
