We are raising funds to help pay for the cost of hosting a family reunion for descendants of Ephraim Knowlton Hanks. We will be holding the reunion at the American West Heritage Center in Wellsville, UT on June 20, 2026. All descendants of Ephraim Knowlton Hanks and his 3 wives (Harriet Decker, Jane Capener, and Thisbe Read) are all welcome and encouraged to attend.

We suggest a donation of $10 for individuals and $25 for families (Mom and/or Dad + their kids), but we welcome and appreciate donations of all sizes.

No one will be denied entry for inability to pay.

Proceeds will go to re-coup the cost of our exclusive use of the American West Heritage Center on the day of the reunion. The AWHC is a wonderful venue in a beautiful setting, perfect for celebrating our large family with its pioneer roots. Your donation will help us to have several sections of the AWHC open and operational for the event.

See the reunion website for more information.
