Heritage Industries
State History is committed to Utah heritage industries.
In addition to libraries, archives, and museums, Utah history is interpreted and made accessible to the public by
for-profit enterprises.
These include:
- bed-and-breakfast inns, restaurants, craft shops, and other businesses housed in historic buildings
- commercial tour operators
- producers of authentic arts, crafts, and historic reproductions
- industries with a long history in the state, such as mining, smelting, manufacturing, railroading, and skiing
- and other history-oriented businesses.
These businesses, along with chambers of commerce, state and local tourism organizations, nonprofit museums, and governments constitute a statewide heritage industry.
We encourage communities to organize heritage tourism coordinating groups, and we support their efforts. We work with:
- the Four Corners Heritage Council
- the Sanpete Heritage Council
- the Bear River RD&C
the Brigham City Heritage Council. - the Utah Heritage Products Association, and
- the Highway 89 Heritage Highway Association.
A Heritage Tourism Toolkit is available for communities, trade associations, and individual businesses.
