A fun, historical experience in Kanab, Utah.
Kanab Heritage House is a home built in the late 1800's that has ties to the Southern Utah area.
The guided tour is fun & informational and the tour guides are friendly & willing to answer questions. They have done a lot of work and use verifiable information when telling about the area, the home and the families that have lived here.
The tour is about an hour long and will include several sets of stairs/steps. Sadly, it is not wheelchair accessible. There are lots of great artifacts to see and learn about and the preservation team had done a great job starting true to the history and nature of the home.
The ground are well let and beautiful. A perfect place to have an intimate wedding or get together.
The area gets warm in the afternoon so morning visits or those before 1PM are best to avoid the heat.
Overall, the Kanab Heritage House Museum is a great way to spend an hour of your trip learning about...
Read moreGreat tour and FREE The free tour of Kanab Heritage House (also known as the Chamberlain-Bowman house) is the home of the original owners preserved in wonderful architectural condition and includes the original furniture, kitchen, canned vegetables, etc. Our tour guide Emily was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and well spoken.

My partner and I don’t typically visit museums but this was worth our time. I highly recommend you do this tour; it’s free, informative, entertaining and visual (e.g, photographs, architecture, furniture, original kitchen, and canned vegetables(!) and bottles from decades ago), which all give you a sense of what the family that lived here was like. ...
Read moreWe had passed by a couple of times and were enchanted by the gorgeous grounds and amazing architecture. We stopped by this afternoon and wandered through the beautiful gardens before meeting Tina who turned out to be a warm, friendly, and knowledgeable guide. We were lucky to be the only ones there at the time and got through a full tour before the next group came by. The house is immaculate and filled with fascinating history about the area, the history of the town, and the life of the people living there. Our kids were very engaged and really enjoyed learning about the families who lived in the house. We got a lot out of this visit and would highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you Tina and a big thanks to all of those who have put in the time and effort to preserve this piece of history. Would...
