Park City Museum — Attraction in Park City

Discrimination seems to be a reoccurring theme at this museum. My wife went in with her friends in a wheelchair over the weekend. She has multiple medical conditions some of which result in an inability to wear a mask. Once she was seen, an employee walked over and rather than talk to my wife (obviously an adult, just in a wheelchair) the employee chose to talk to the friend pushing the wheelchair as if my wife was just a child. Once informed that my wife has medical conditions not allowing for a mask the employee told them it didn't matter and they had to leave. Citing that the county policy on mask as the reasoning. We researched the mask policy extensively prior to her trip (as this is a mandatory task anytime we go out currently) and the county policy specifically states that medical conditions are a clear exception from the policy. Looking at the reviews, my wife wasn't the first and I am sure it happens without being reported in a review here. Judging by the treatment my wife received I would not be surprised if this establishment also discriminates against those of certain ethnicities, sexual orientations or any other number of factors as discrimination is a disease that spreads into every area allowed. We will be moving forward with filing a compliant with ADA.gov and any other organization we find that handles this situation as no one should be made to feel the way this establishments policies are making those with disabilities feel. I urge anyone who has received similar treatment to file a complaint with the appropriate...

Engaging and Informative - Park City Museum

The Park City Museum is a hidden gem for anyone interested in the unique history of this iconic mountain town. Located right on Main Street, it’s easy to access and offers a fascinating look into Park City’s past, from its early days as a silver mining town to its transformation into a world-class ski destination. The museum itself is well-maintained, with modern displays and interactive exhibits that make it enjoyable for visitors of all ages.

One of the highlights is the original jail in the basement, which brings history to life in a way that’s a bit eerie but incredibly interesting. Another favorite exhibit is the detailed account of the Great Fire of 1898, which nearly destroyed the town. There are many artifacts, photographs, and videos that showcase how resilient and industrious the people of Park City have been through the years.

The museum isn’t huge, so you can easily explore it in an hour or two. It’s also reasonably priced, especially considering the quality of the exhibits. The only minor downside is that it can get a bit crowded during peak tourist season. Overall, the Park City Museum is a must-visit for history buffs and anyone who wants to get a deeper understanding of this...

A number of interactive exhibits here including an old time telephone operator game, mining drills, "explosives," sitting in the train car and ski subway where one can enjoy movies about the town and ski history, flipping the pages of the Most Wanted electronic book to hear about the prisoners' stories from costumed reenactors, walk through authentic jail cells used from the 1880s through 1960s, push the buttons to see the different mines on a map, look at two levels (stories) of the scale model miniature mine including little animals and people, check out the old fire engine, and with the traveling exhibit kids can flip through outfits and "try them on." With admission free for kids under 18, I think it's a great way to spend an hour on Main Street once you're tired of shopping...plus the gift...
