Escalante Heritage Center

The Escalante Heritage Center is a great place to visit, offering interesting information and pictures in its outdoor area. The museum tells the story of the 1879 expedition to establish a Mormon mission town and find a faster route through the Escalante River Canyon. Visitors can learn about the persistence and strength of settlers through murals, info signage, and a video inside. While the main building was closed during some visits, the outdoor exhibition remains a worthwhile stop to explore.
