About
Discover Park City's history at the Park City Museum on Historic Main Street. Prospectors discovered silver in 1868 in the area that soon after became Park City. Mine owners made fortunes, while thousands of miners simply made a living. After silver prices declined, Park City reinvented itself as a ski resort town. Interactive displays tell the Park City story in an engaging manner. Fun for the whole family!

- Tony INorth Lauderdale, Florida16 contributionsLoved the mining historyThe Park City Museum was great. Loved all the videos and the displays. There are so many things to see and read you can spend 3 to 4 hours looking at everything. Very educational, learned a lot about the history of Park City and the mining that took place. Very good for the price with a discount coupon. You can get a coupon book of Park City in front of the Post Office just up the street. I definitely recommend taking this tour. T&M Ft.

- Ann A10 contributionsFascinating MuseumFascinating museum! So glad we saw this museum, it was fascinating to learn the history of Park City as the world capital for silver mining. The models which depict the layers and layers of mining were art itself. Loved the real life models of the ski train and the jail. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Park CityVisited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten March 13, 2024
- SouthernFamilyOf3Greenville, South Carolina104 contributionsNice quick overviewNice quick overview of Park City. It is presented in an engaging way, with much of it looking like a remodeled silver mine. We left feeling that we understood the city much better by visiting the museum. We were also inspired to go by and see the library. A couple of tips: No restroom inside, but a decent public restroom is next door. Also, in the basement there is a table with a big book on it. Be sure to have a look. Like the Harry Potter newspaper, it's alive!Visited May 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten May 27, 2024

We'd walked past the museum dozens of times and never gone in; from the outside all you can see is the gift shop, and at first glance it looked like just another tourist trap...
BOY were we wrong. Talk about packing a lot of history into a small footprint! The mining and historical exhibits were fascinating, and all of a sudden the entire history of Park City came alive for us. Friendly staff, fascinating displays, what's not to like?

They managed to present many interesting exhibits, many of which are interactive, in a space that covers three floors. Interesting, informative and well done. From mining to skiing you learn the history of how Park City has fared through the years. Well worth the admission price.

We were pleasantly surprised with the Park City Museum. We expected to be in and out quickly, but found ourselves getting absorbed in the exhibits. There is plenty of historical information on the history of Park City, including mining, skiing and tourism. We found it very informative and at times, fascinating.

We visited Park City Museum on our day off from skiing. If you like history, the history of Park City and the surrounding area is very interesting. We spent 90 minutes reading the displays about the first settlers, Silver mining, transportation, living conditions, etc

A nice little museum highlighting PC's past. I wouldn't recommend visiting during crowds as the facility just isn't large enough to make such a visit fun. 10 bucks a head is a little steep for this place, but it is PC after all.

This is an excellent museum on three levels. It provides great insights into Park City history and legacies.
The jail in the basement is quite eye opening.
The 2 story tall model of silver mining is extremely well done. Really makes you appreciate how hard underground hard rock mining is.
