Utah History, Heritage & Culture
Interested in geology, Native American culture, or pioneer lore? Explore the history of Utah through the many local museums and historical sites where you can learn something new about your favorite hobby or historical passion, such as fascinating tales of mine history in Utah and the Mormon history timeline. Are you a military history buff? Then take in Camp Floyd, located in Fairfield, Utah, which was once home to 3,500 troops, nearly one-third of the entire U.S. Army at that time. The troops were brought to Camp Floyd to respond to unfounded rumors of a rebellion in Utah. The troops remained at the site until 1851. Today, Camp Floyd features a museum including interactive, hands-on experiences providing an up-close look at 1800s military life.
