Reminder of the 70's along Rio Grande 50 – Sportsman’s Motel and Cafe, Marysvale, Utah

: Marysvale, UT Sep. 15, 2014

Sportsman’s Motel and Cafe was located at the north entrance of Marysvale, Utah at 315 N Main (US Hwy 89).

This structure seems relatively new, maybe built in the 60’s or the 70’s. We cannot see anything in the 1953 USGS aerial photo. Center portion of the structure can be seen in the 1973 USGS aerial photo.

According to Mar. 27, 2012 Richfield Reaper, Raymond(1923 – 2012) and Aileen Marie Shepherd(1927 – 2013) Furnal owned and managed the motel and cafe since 1985[1]. Michael Troy Madsen succeeded the business in 1997[2]. It is still active today as Weber’s Paiute Trails Inn, owned and managed by Bill Weber.
