What an experience!!! Little did we know that in our own "back yard", there was something SO interesting, totally worth the time. One regret? Yes, not discovering this jewel years ago. We're coming back with children and grandchildren.

Just of the I-15 corridor just north of Beaver UT a charming and pleasant picnic area under the shade of old trees. Films, tours and quiet time in this sweet and soothing setting. Well worth the time and effort to make this little day trip from SL or UT Counties.

Engaging glimpse at life in the era of the early settlers, cowboys, Indians, Pony Express,... Tour guides are engaging and provided a customer tour that fit our travel schedule. Ask for tour guide Mr. Rosen or Oscar Taylor

It has always been a source of peace and inspiration for me, but the restoration and the knowledgeable... More

I've lived in Utah all my life and never knew how cool this place is. Such a neat piece of history. Defiantly worth the stop! Only 1 mile off of I-15. Nice, friendly tour guides.
