Sandy Museum

Sandy City was established in 1893, and the Sandy Museum displays pieces of the city’s history, dating all the way back to the city’s beginning. Children can get a glimpse of what it was like to live in Sandy in the late 1800s and early 1900s. While the displays aren’t hands-on, kids still get excited about seeing antique items like the old switchboard and toys. The two-story building that houses the Sandy Museum was built over 100 years ago.

Inside the Sandy Museum, its elaborate slide show covers the romance of Historic Sandy when it was becoming Utah’s first city. Mining, farming and railroads sparked the activity of the Old West, running competition with horse-drawn carriages, now leaving imaginations to explore how we managed to arrive at 2008. Those days give us foundations.

Outside the Sandy Museum, its Walking Tour covers 17 locations of historic homes crying out for visitors with their architecture and memories of dad working, mom cooking, children studying or playing hide and seek ’til dark while sister longed to date the guy next door. There’s a free 33-page booklet describing each location on a trail just right for one day’s exercise. Historic and healthy. Why ask for more?
