(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) The 150-acre Panguitch Research Farm, still in operation Aug. 12, 2021, is the former location of the Panguitch Boarding School for mostly the Kaibab Band of Paiutes in Arizona and the Shivwitz Band of Paiute Indians of Utah that operated from 1904 to 1909. In 1909, the property once owned by the U. S. government was transferred to the state of Utah where the land was used for experimental high-altitude farming. Today, it sits mostly vacant, except for the dilapidated lone brick building, at left in the distance, that dates back to the 1900's.
