Salt Lake City Was a Great Host

As you know, the Travel Thru History crew recently went to Salt Lake City to tape an episode to air in our second season. We discovered much about the city, and we know it's going to be a great episode for history lovers.

Here's where we went...

Frontier Homestead State Park - Actually in Cedar City, this quaint little park showcases the wagons, homes and paraphernalia of the frontier west.

Temple Square - The mormon settlers built their Vatican in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. The temple square truly is a beautiful, peaceful place to take a stroll. You'll notice at least 50 brides and grooms taking pictures on the grounds.

Utah State Natural History Museum - Come for the Dinosaurs, stay for the Native American exhibit. Multiple floors of state-of-the-art museum attractions showcasing the ancient history of Utah's first inhabitants.

This is the Place State Park - A large monument to the place where Utah's founder Bringham Young stopped his wagons and decried "This is the place." There's also a petting zoo, blacksmithing shop, leather goods shop and plenty frontier buildings to see.

Hill Aerospace Museum - Located north of town in Ogden, this is an operating Air Force base with an amazing, huge, outdoor and indoor collection of airplanes and missiles. They have an SR71 Blackbird in the hangar along with two F16's, plus much more.

Utah State Capitol building - A real architectural beauty. Modeled after the Capitol building in DC, and lined with Cherry Blossoms, it's worth a visit. It houses the Utah State House, Senate, and Supreme Court.
