At current gas prices, a day at
This Is The Place Heritage Park is the best recreation value in Utah! |
||
 |
Thousands of Utahns are discovering that a “staycation” at This Is The Place Heritage Park is a one-of-a-kind family recreational, educational and entertainment experience that easily fits a budget made tighter by high gas prices. The Park is wide open spaces, animals, activities for kids, magnificent views, history and food – all in a setting that looks like a Western movie set. The best part is that it’s right in your own back yard. Join us any summer day for a little pioneering of your own.
And don’t worry about the price of gas – we get 150 years per gallon! |

All Season Long It's An Adventure Of The Senses!
|

|
Whether you’re watching a craft, petting a farm animal, listening to a fiddler, eating penny candy from Z.C.M.I. or enjoying the fresh foothills air, a visit to the Park is an experience for all of the senses. Immerse yourself in the pioneer adventure!
One of the few real tinsmiths in the U.S. works his craft in Heritage Village. The blacksmith makes items that are used elsewhere in the village while explaining his trade to visitors. A similar working environment is found at the furniture-maker’s shop and the saddlery. See wool being carded and spun into yarn to be colored with dyes made from native plants. We have puppet shows, rug making, crafts, and pioneer classes at the school. Visit the newspaper print shop, see how butter is churned and taste it on fresh bread, find old-fashioned penny candy at Z.C.M.I., see nearly-lost arts (such as basket making, rug making, needlework or hair weaving) demonstrated, or go on a handcart mini-trek. Young visitors can help do chores by watering the real garden, beating dirt from rugs hung on the fence rail or scrubbing clothes on a washboard in a large metal tub. They can see and touch domestic animals typical of the era: cows, sheep, goats, chickens, horses and huge oxen – even ride a pony! This Is The Place Heritage Park – So Much More Than A Monument! |
