Travel: Butch Cassidy Childhood Home Click title to see Robert's photos of the site. On a recent trip out West, photographer Robert Ellis happened upon a small state park on the west side of Utah Highway 89, just south of Circleville, Utah, that commemorates the childhood home of the notorious outlaw Robert LeRoy Parker, better known as Butch Cassidy. Robert writes, "This location really surprised us; we were unaware of it and pretty much happened upon it while traveling through." Parker lived there with his family from 1880 to around 1884. A placard at the park says, "Research about Parker's life here is ongoing. Information uncovered so far shows he was a fun big brother, loved dancing and racing horses, liked to lead, was a hard worker and was kind to animals." Parker left home as a teenager, and subsequently worked on several ranches, in addition to a brief apprenticeship with a butcher in Rock Springs, Wyoming Territory, where he got his nickname, to which he soon added the last name Cassidy in honor of his old friend and mentor, cattle thief Mike Cassidy. Parker's life and death have been extensively dramatized in film, television and literature, and he remains one of the best-known icons of the "Wild West" mythos in modern times.
