Northrop Grumman Rocket Garden — Attraction in Tremonton

Great "little" display of the rocket propulsion technology that has been developed and tested at the [originally Thiokol, then ATK, and as of this review] Northrop Grumman facility the Rocket Garden is out front of. All actual modules, they have been weatherized and modified to survive lying on the ground for extended periods (meaning wood plugs and heavy paint, likely causing the earlier review I noticed claiming they all "feel fake." That reviewer also likely missed that several are indeed fiberglass - as they were test modules for the feasibility of making fiberglass rockets.) DEFINITELY bring bug spray if visiting during anything other than late fall, winter, or early, early spring - aka, unless you are visiting when you wouldn't want to due to weather, BRING BUG SPRAY. Depending on the year, the mosquitos can be a bit...

HERE is a wonderful hidden TREASURE!!! From the space race of the '60's, to today's latest and greatest space exploration AND National Defence, there is an element of greatness on exhibit here by providing the casings and hulls of rocket engines and missile motors. If you knew where to look, one can find the mating surfaces where the O-rings were used for the Space Shuttle boosters. This is an EXCELLENT place to study and learn of the FASCINATING history of rocket propulsion. Next door are the engineering and manufacturing facilities, complete with the fuel mixing stations. Watch for the fire evacuation slides. Also nearby is the Golden Spike Transcontinental railroad...

The Rocket Garden is located along Utah Hwy 83, outside the headquarters of the Northrup Grumman building located in Corinne. Listed as a museum, the outside display contains numerous older NASA or military rockets and missles. Each piece has a sign that describes its history and military specifications.

If visiting Promontory to visit the Golden Spike National Historic Site, visiting here is a no-brainer if interested in rockets or military history. It is located just a couple miles north on Ut-83 from the turnoff to Golden Spike. So it's very easy to combine this outdoor "rocket museum" with a visit to the...
