Springville - Mapleton Pioneer Museum
Springville, Utah
Description

Museum of artifacts, photographs and histories of early Springville, Utah pioneers who lived there from 1850-1900.

In 1920, women in the area realized the importance of preserving our community’s heritage. They began gathering artifacts, histories, photographs and documents of the area. Those interested in learning about the heritage of the area are invited to visit us at the old Carnegie Library on Main Street in Springville, where you can do personal research, and enjoy hands on activities and games with the family.

Artifact Collections

There are so many wonderful artifacts in our collection at the Pioneer Museum, all of which have been graciously donated by families of the pioneers that settled Utah. To make these collections more accessible to the public, we will be spotlighting various items periodically. Please enjoy the wonderful history we have been left.

Early pioneer relics of all kinds, including textiles, farm tools, kitchenware, furniture, etc.
