NGS: Nearby Park City's Historical Musem

"[...] more than 130 years ago, a rush of people flocked to Park City seeking a different precious metal—silver. Park City was incorporated as a city in 1884.The mountains' abundant silver veins attracted adventurers from around the world in the late 1860s. During its mining height, those mountains surrounding Park City yielded $400 million in silver and created 23 millionaires, including the father of newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst."

Park City, Utah sounds like a great side trip, doesn't it?

If you bring a spouse, or come a few days early for the 2010 National Genealogical Society Conference you'll simply must take time to tour the museum in the town that hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics. The Park City Historical Museum is located at 528 Main Street and is surrounded by great eating establishments and all sorts of little shops. I'd suggest spending the day wandering and dining. It will be fun!

Though by late April the snows will have melted from the slopes, there's lots to see and do in Park City.





Happy family tree climbing!
