Frontier Homestead State Park Museum — Attraction in Cedar City

This place is outstanding a must go see if anyone is in town!!! Just as depicted on the pictures when you visit their website! Being a true experience of some of the settlers lives and how they made it by innovations and pure grit. Being off of Main St. It's easy to locate. Easy parking. When entering the building it's simply loaded with all kinds of artifacts from that era and beautiful souvenirs to pick from! The person in the front super friendly and welcoming as well! Only 4 bucks per person to explore the whole place. Inside the building loaded with all the cool stuff the early people used live and function on a processing society covering success beating all the odds of the harsh West. I suggest to look at every detail by stopping in each area and read or look at videos offered even with film for all people to see. Everything so beautiful inside just amazing it all will not disappoint. As you go outside you must explore the little town as it was very well preserved as it must have been and wow its like going back in time that depicts true success in the west from those men women that conquered it by such hard work! I recommend stopping at each building and structures and enjoying how...

The museum was fun to take the kids, but the front desk employee was VERY rude. I took my kids to the gift shop when we were leaving to pick out a toy, the they picked the pop guns so of course as children they tested them out to see what they did, the lady immediately was rude and said " please don't play with those, people like to buy them" in a very condescending tone, to which I replied we plan on buying them, letting her tone slide. My kids stopped being noisy with the guns and I proceeded to grab a book that I found interesting and wanted to purchase, at that time another mom and her kids came in and started to play with the same kind of guns, the lady then yelled " take them outside that is so rude" then she assumed those boys belonged to me and said "mother" in the most cold condescending tone giving me a dirty look. So instead of buying the nearly $60 dollars worth of souvenirs, we put them back and left. We will not be going back in the future and I highly advise not taking kids there while this older lady is working, she clearly has no patience...

At first, you might not even give a thought to visit Homestead park. But, it is worth your time and effort as you will come away appreciating the complex lifestyle of the early settlers in this area.

It’s hard to fathom how they lived, and simple log homes with no climate control battling the elements I am working diligently for food, clothing, and shelter. Once you wrap your mind around this, you could begin to appreciate the hard work and effort it took to overcome all of the shortcomings of our humanity and the harshness of the environment.

These hard-working settlers, made their own clothing, built their own transportation (wagons), and grew their own food. There was no Walmart, no Amazon, and no Internet. They had to use sheep to get wool to make their own thread and sew their own clothing.

Some of the settlers mind iron, Well others made tools or farmed. But, no matter what the profession was, it was a community effort for sure. This is clearly seen in the academics of the community. Just take a look at the school house and you’ll see...
