Helper Western Mining and Railroad Museum

Description

The Western Mining and Railroad Museum in Helper has a remarkably intact 1920s main street of brick storefronts. Kids can explore a simulated coal mine tunnel, an actual steam locomotive, and exhibits on the immigrant miners who built Utah's carbon country. Admission is free and the building itself is a piece of history.
