Mine History

The Park City Museum isn’t your usual musty local historical society treasure trove. This one is new, interactive, and engaging. Know those plush high-speed quads and six-packs on the mountain? Here you can experience one of the mountain’s earliest lifts by sitting in an electric mining train that transported skiers three miles into the belly of the old silver mine, and view the hoist that lifted them 1,800 feet to the surface; step into Park City\’s first jail; and more.
