historic HARRISVILLE
In the spring of 1853, northern Utah officials laid a county road through the Harrisville settlement. The county court appointed Martin Henderson Harris as Road Supervisor. Harris held this position for eleven years, during which time he laid out most of the public roads north of the Ogden River.
In 1937, When the Highway Department built Highway 89 through Harrisville, they split Harrisville Road into West Harrisville Road and North Harrisville Road. With a mix of architectural styles from different eras, each home on these quaint country roads tells a part of Harrisville’ story.*
