Park City Museum

The Museum is housed partly inside the historic City Hall which was completed at a cost of $6,400 in 1885, one year after Park City was incorporated as a city. The 1880s were a time of great growth and prosperity and many new buildings were erected on Main Street during this time. The City Hall also housed the Police and Fire Departments and the Territorial Jail. Then in 1898 the Great Fire raged down Main Street destroying almost everything in its path leaving only the front facade, partial side walls and the Territorial Jail standing. But hardy Parkites started rebuilding immediately with many of those new building still standing today and recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to its civic roots, the building has also been home to the Park City Public Library for many years, retail, offices and even a liquor store. When the Museum expanded, we added over 6,000 square feet onto the back of the historic structure. The Park City Museum is a lively nonprofit organization dedicated to Preserving, Protecting and Promoting Park City's rich history and culturally significant sites. Our solid 40-year history as one of Utah's most popular and successful cultural anchors has resulted in numerous awards, accolades and regular inclusion in national and international travel guides as a Top Ten Park City attraction.
