Standifird Home  306 S. Main St.

The Standifird Home might be considered the birthblace of our modern July 4th Anvil tradition. In the early 1950’s, Reed Hatch asked Uncle Quill to put together a boom using anvils. They weren’t quite sure how it worked but knew it had been used before. Quill figured it out. His descendants still organize and manage the “firing of the anvil” for the Independence Day Celebration in Taylor.
