Discover Utah's rich history brought to life at Heritage Village, located at This Is The Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake City. This charming village is a living tribute to the pioneer spirit, offering visitors a hands-on and immersive experience of life during the early days of the Utah settlers.
Wander through streets of historical homes and shops and step over the threshold into the past, where you can experience life in the early settlement of the West.
More than 50 historic shops, homes, and buildings with hands-on exhibits tell the story of the craftsmanship, resilience and spirit of community of the people who built Utah. Authentic pioneer buildings, live demonstrations, hands-on activities, costumed interpreters and seasonal events await you. We recommend giving yourself at least a few hours to explore.
