Things to do in Wasatch Range, Wasatch Range: The Best History Museums

August 2, 2021 Florencio Paulino

Stretching 160 miles through Utah, the Wasatch Range makes a rugged, glacial backdrop for the 85% of the state’s population living within 15 miles. Mount Nebo is highest at 11,928 feet, but the peaks around Alta and Park City are most popular. "The greatest snow on earth" falls on these spectacular slopes. Lone Peak’s granite outcrops provide top climbing. Canyons and valleys are loved by fly-fishermen and hikers. After all that adventure, retire to a hip restaurant or enticing hot tub in chic Park City.

Park City Museum

Discover Park City's history at the Park City Museum on Historic Main Street. Prospectors discovered silver in 1868 in the area that soon after became Park City. Mine owners made fortunes, while thousands of miners simply made a living. After silver prices declined, Park City reinvented itself as a ski resort town. Interactive displays tell the Park City story in an engaging manner. Fun for the whole family! Open 7 days a week (Mon-Sat 10-7, Sun 12-6).

John M. Browning Firearms Museum

Reviewed By nstein001 - Orlando, United States

Awesome collection of rifles, shotguns, and pistols, all from the genius of the Browning family! Well-organized collection and great info, without being so much to read that it overwhelms you. My wife and I both enjoyed the museum, and seeing the arms that were personally owned by the Brownings, as well as the Serial #1 for some of the rifles. Well worth the $5 for a Senior or $7 for an adult (to all the museums). And the other museums are awesome also!

Museum of Anthropology

At the Museum we treat Anthropology as more than the mere study of cultures; it is the study of human behavior - past and present. We ask the big questions about human experience: • Who are we and where did we come from? • How have we changed and where are we going? • What is culture and how do we share it? Join us in exploring the worlds of Anthropology through a visit today!
