What visitors say
This was a great museum to learn about the mining and ski history of Park City. I appreciated how the exhibits had quick blurbs for fast reading and to keep you engaged. They had a lot of modern technology to highlight things and it…
Cool museum to see how Park City's mining history became a great skiing hub, jailing residents for complaining about work conditions and drinking beer. Great addition to any Park City visit.
Fantastic museum! Dont pass this up - very informative/interactive and learned all kinds of history! My favorite part was the jail in the basement
