Utah State Hospital Museum

Loved visiting this museum. Lots of interesting artifacts with plenty of accompanying info and stories. The guide was super friendly and helpful but still gave us space to experience the museum for ourselves—she even gave my son a cookie! It’s a small museum—we spent about thirty min here but if you read everything you’d probably be there longer. There are some troubling exhibits (restraining devices, etc.) but overall I’d say this is a place worth visiting. Since it’s lesser known and out of the way, it’s never very busy, which is nice. I took off a star because the hours are so limited.

This place is a precious gem. Go. Learn. Understand.

Super interesting for a history junky like myself. A look back into how mental hospitals were ran in a different time. I wish they were open more often, I’d be there every day!

Wonderful museum! The guide has worked here for quite some time and tells many stories from her own point of view. I love how transparent the hospital and museum is about it's history and how they have drastically improved in their methods. If you're looking to gather information on how insane asylums were ran 100 years ago, this is the place for you!

The greenhouse has an amazingly friendly staff, and their prices are great!
