Park City Museum Calendar of Events

Coaches, buggies and surries–oh my! From April 6 to May 28, the Park City Museum will host “Going Places,” a traveling exhibit that explores the evolution, culture and eventual demise of horse-drawn transportation.

Before the dawn of the automobile, horse-drawn carriages were essential for providing Americans with goods, services and leisure opportunities. As the standard of living improved during the 19^th century, more people began to own carriages. The demand for better roads grew, and better roads allowed people to go places faster and further than ever before. This boosted the economy and paved the way for the Industrial Revolution and the invention of the automobile.

Check the Events page to see what else is going on.

This exhibition has been made possible through NEH on the Road, a special initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities. It is brought to you by Mid-America Arts Alliance.  Going Places was organized by The Long Island Museum of American Art, History, and Carriages in Stony Brook, New York.

It pays to be a local. Stop by the Museum Thursday, May 17, as part of Locals Appreciation Days and see the Museum for free! Don’t forget to visit Going Places in the Tozer Gallery and see all the fantastic, new items in the Museum Store. Hands on History! Visit the Museum between 3:00-6:00 to participate in hands-on history activities related to Going Places. Great for kids and families!

Thank you for all your support during the winter season. We love Park City–past and present!
