Top 5 Historic Sites in Wasatch Range, Wasatch Range

March 7, 2022 Kaleigh Reichenbach

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.

Meyer Gallery

The Meyer Gallery has been located in a landmark building in the historic district since 1965. The gallery offers fine contemporary work by regional and national artists. Primary works are original oil paintings, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. The building itself is included in the Park City Museum Historic Tour due to its importance in this silver mining town as the First National Bank.

Union Station

For 50 years this stately and historic depot served as a major hub for transcontinental rail service. Today, it remains a monument to grand rail stations of the early 20th-century and includes four museums: the Utah State Railroad Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Browning Kimball Car Museum and the Browning Firearms Museum.

We had a rainy day to kill in Ogden and found this place very interesting and well done. They have done a great job preserving a very beautiful building. The history of the building of the Transcontinental Railway was well covered. Kids would love the model trains. The cars in automobile museum were beautiful. The cowboy museum was small but with a few minutes. We skipped the gun museum. The location is good, right at the end of the historic 25th street where you can grab food and shop.

Lehi Roller Mills

Reviewed By abearfellow

While traveling in northern Arizona, we came across a breakfast place that served some of the best multigrain oatmeal that we've ever had. When pressed, they told us to go to Lehi, Utah and visit the Roller Mills Granary where we might be able to buy it. We went and immediately fell in love with the building - it is astonishingly beautiful. Apparently, it is one of the oldest still working granaries in Utah, originally built in 1906.. There's a good story online about its history. It has a few postcards and information in the store and they also sell the products that they mill on site. It is very similar to Wheat Montana up in Three Forks, montana. A fun place to look at and some good product. We lugged a 25 pound bag of the 6 grain cereal back to Seattle with us, safely seat belted into the back seat of our rental car.

Fort Buenaventura

The original fort, used for fur trading and trapping, has been reconstructed on a 32-acre tract of land, part of a state park where visitors can see stockade and cabin replicas, rent canoes and picnic.

I walk the area often. It’s shaded which is wonderful in the Utah summer. I intermittently use a wheelchair and have had success in getting around the path. It’s nice enough. It has some seedier areas but no one really bothers you. Pretty and close to the city.
