Gale Center of History and Culture

Comment on Facebook

The idea for the Gale Center of History and Culture was created by several long-time citizens of South Jordan. These citizens wanted to create a place to learn about and experience the rich history of South Jordan and devote space to the students and members of the community to spend time. The history and story behind the development of South Jordan is so important to the livelihood of the Wasatch Front, in Utah, that the opportunity to share the stories and history could not be passed up.
