| Grace’s House This charming house was once a bank, but with a move and the addition of the porches, it became the home of Tommy and Grace Thomas. At that time, Belvidere was a thriving railroad town. However, as with so many of the train communities, Belvidere is slowly becoming a memory. The walls of Grace’s House are decorated in photographs of our local scenery, cattle drives, and branding crews; one of the last remaining vestiges of Belvidere early roots. |
| Grandma Obr’s This house was the home of Frank and Toni Obr and family. Frank was one of the earliest business owners in Belvidere. He was the town blacksmith, and owned the first Ford dealership and garage. It has been said, “He could build anything.” He purchased the blacksmith business from Ernst (Hans) and Emile Thode. Hans’ son Earl Thode was the first All-Round Champion Cowboy in 1929 and PRCA Champion Saddle Bronc rider in 1929 and 1931. There is a monument in honor of Earl Thode in the Belvidere Park. |
