The Hampton's Ford Stage Stop and Barn was established at a ford on the Bear River near Collinston, Utah by Benjamin Y. Hampton and William S. Godbe in 1853. The pair operated a ferry until 1859 when they built a bridge, replacing it in 1866. At about the same time they built a house, which also served as a hotel, and a barn. The bridge was again replaced in 1892, and superseded by a bridge on Utah State Route 30.[2]
The main building is a two-story red-tinted limestone structure. The hotel originally boasted ten rooms and an indoor privy. There were eight rooms on the ground floor, including a living area, dining room, kitchen and bedrooms.[2] The large existing porch was added in 1918.[2][3]
The wood barn is located across the road, in substantially the same configuration as it was originally built.[2]
Hampton's Ford Stage Stop was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 12, 1971.[1]
