Summit County Historical Society

As Utah's Gateway, Summit County has a unique, rich, and diverse history. Settlers, Pioneers, and eventually the railroad headed west all passed through Echo Canyon. The early settlers faced great hardship in these high, alpine valleys, tucked between the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains. Playing Host to the 2002 Winter Olympics reminded us that our history is still being written.

There are many legacies to hand down through the generations. More valuable than money or land is the legacy and example of hard work and honesty that we leave for our children. This is portrayed at the Summit County Historical Museum. Not only is our museum a preservation it is a tribute to our heritage.

Come visit us at 60 North Main in Coalville Utah, in the basement of the County Courthouse, just 15 minutes from Park City.
