This Is The Place Heritage Park

Experience living history at This Is The Place Heritage Park.

Located at the historic location of the Mormon pioneers’ entry to what was then the Republic of Mexico, this Utah state park celebrates the heritage of the many cultures and people that have called the valley of the Great Salt Lake home.

The Park offers experiences crafted to awaken the pioneer within every historian, ponderer, adventurer, artist, or naturalist. Connect to the story and spirit of the American west with monuments, exhibits, and interactive events that blend past with present to commemorate unique traditions and legacies. Discover immersive theater, engaging historical interactions, an exceptional general store, and food created by our award-winning chef. For a more intimate visit, try a curated tour with our park historian, a trail ride guided by experienced wranglers, or a quiet nature walk.

With 415 acres of beauty nestled into the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains and a full complement of seasonal events to explore, This Is The Place Heritage Park offers a literal and figurative view of history that inspires. Connect to your inner pioneer with an unforgettable visit today.
