About Clarkston

Living in Clarkston

Clarkston is one of northern Cache Valley's most quietly special communities — a small agricultural town of about 700 residents with a Main Street, a historic cemetery containing the grave of Martin Harris, and the unhurried pace that characterizes Utah's most rural valley towns.

The Martin Harris grave draws visitors from across the country — Harris was one of the Three Witnesses to the Book of Mormon and one of early Mormonism's most consequential figures. His burial in Clarkston has made the town a place of historical pilgrimage while preserving its small-town character.

Clarkston's real estate is primarily agricultural residential — large lots, modest older homes, and occasional small farms. The town is for buyers who genuinely want rural Cache Valley living: room to breathe, minimal traffic, community events centered on the church and local school, and access to the mountains within minutes.

FAQ

Questions About Living in Clarkston

What is special about Clarkston?
Clarkston is home to the grave of Martin Harris, one of the Three Witnesses to the Book of Mormon. The town holds an annual Martin Harris Pageant that draws thousands. Beyond its historical significance, Clarkston offers genuine rural Cache Valley living at prices well below Logan and Smithfield.
Is Clarkston a good place to raise a family?
For families who want a rural upbringing — yes. The community is tight-knit, crime is minimal, and children have room to roam. The trade-off is distance to amenities. Logan is 25 minutes south, and the limited school options require bus transportation.
What is the land/lot situation in Clarkston?
Clarkston has some of Cache County's most available large-lot inventory. Agricultural parcels of 1–5+ acres are relatively common and priced well below comparable Utah County or Davis County acreage. The town's agricultural zoning has preserved lot sizes that other Cache Valley cities have sacrificed to density.
