Beaver is the birthplace of two very famous individuals of the past, Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor of television and Butch Cassidy, the notorious western outlaw.
There is an abandoned homestead just off US-89, 5 miles south of Hatch. There is a fairly intact cabin and several farm out-buildings. The whole site is very overgrown. Watch out for an open, uncovered well off the south end of the cabin. The town site is on private property, so please respect the No Trespassing signs.
