Hike
Herbert is a small ghost town that was operated until the 40s, but with the invention of the automobile, it was much more convenient to live in Rexburg or Rigby than in Herbert. At one point, it's been said that as many as 150 people lived here, mostly farmers or those who worked in the mines. The old house was tragically burned down by vandals in or around 2017.
