This Is The Place Heritage Park

Brigham Young Farm House

Heritage Village is a living history site within the 450-acre This Is The Place Heritage Park. It features more than 40 original and replica homes and businesses, complete with villagers who demonstrate crafts, trades and home-making skills typical of 19th Century Utah.

In many of the homes and businesses you will also find hands-on crafts for children to do and make, as well as pioneer chores, school lessons and farm animals to see and pet. Do not forget the pony rides! Kids and adults alike can ride the park's train and horse-drawn wagons.

As part of the Heritage Village experience, everyone also gets an educational glimpse into the daily life of the pioneers who settled the West.

Admission is: $8/adults, $6/children (3-11) and seniors (55+).
Hours: Monday thru Saturdays, 9 am - 5 pm.
(limited programming Sundays, 9 am - 5 pm.)

Heritage Village is not just a place to see, it is an experience you will always remember. Join us for fun and learning where a whole lot of yesterdays happens every single day!

This Is The Place Monument

Just south of the village is the "This Is The Place Monument." Erected in 1947, this world-famous monument commemorates the Mormon settlers entering the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. It marks the end of the 1,300 mile Mormon Pioneer Trail.
