A must stop on US6/191! Stunning natural setting, excellent museum, charming main street with cafes and art galleries, warm and gracious folks, and (still) dynamic railroad action.❤❤❤
I LOVE living in Helper!!! I wouldn't want to raise my family anywhere else. And now my granddaughter too. I walk my dog on the trail & main Street every single day. We had rented our house for around 9 years. 2 years ago we decided to buy it. My house is almost on main Street & very visible, I've worked hard to beautify my yard & home to look nice for Helper!! I definitely helped my neighbor, he was going through a hard time during covid. He couldn't afford electricity or gas. Let alone food. I made extra supper every night & took groceries when I was able too. I love the people here!!!
Is there any housing for disabled. Like thru HUD
I have been intrigued with Helper for a few years now. I am planning on stopping off from the CA Zephyr next year. I like their unique history. I found out I have an ancestor who was one of the first settlers. This video was really cool!
Wonderful little town. Born and raised in Salt Lake City, just discovering this part of the world. The history is so rich and unique, the town is always on my mind..
I’ll be visiting there for the first time this year with my wife for the Christmas parade and fireworks. I’m going to be making a vlog about its art district and it’s hometown charm! 😊
Great video production. Definitely deserves more views! Drove past helper on Highway 6 dozens of times over the years, but didn't even know it had a cool main street until I came through on the Amtrak a couple of weeks ago. Decided to do a little research to learn more about the town, and I'm excited to go stay there soon!
