Step inside the territorial jail and discover the silver mining history that built this town before the ski resorts arrived.

Itinerary tips

  • 1Plan for at least 90 minutes to explore all three floors, including the interactive silver mine elevator simulation.
  • 2Utilize the free Park City Main Street trolley to reach the museum and avoid the high cost of central parking garages.
  • 3Visit the original 1885 territorial jail cells located in the basement, but be aware the space is cramped and poorly lit for effect.
  • 4Bring a valid ID or local lodging key as some nearby hotels offer discounted admission vouchers for guests.
  • 5Check the museum's daily schedule upon arrival to catch the 10-minute film on the Great Fire of 1898.
  • 6Walk to the nearby China Bridge parking structure if you must drive, as it offers the first hour free most days.
