Town of Leeds
The "country" town of Leeds is well known for its history.Noted in the past for its abundant fruit and sorghum,the town has always been the area having the longest growing season in Utah.Quiet Main Street has numerous buildings dating from the 1800's.
Off Main, the "ghosts" of the 1930's remain in four stone buildings,the camp of the men of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The Corps was vital to the development of Southern Utah.At the entrance, a sign provides information about the site that has now been nominated for recognition by the National Register of Historic Places.
Leeds Town Hall was originally the school and was located in Silver Reef until the turn of the 20th century. Later the building was divided in two, placed on logs and teams of horses brought it to where it now stands on Main Street.Fifteen houses built prior to 1900 remain standing on the Town's Main Street.Friendly people and long seasons of pleasant days and nights make this country town an enjoyable place to visit.
