Frontier Homestead Museum - #17

The Frontier Homestead State Park Museum is located in Cedar City, Utah.  The Homestead includes an indoor museum which houses a number of pretty cool horse-drawn wagons, buggies, stagecoaches and early transportation pieces, including a 1941 precursor to the snowmobile and a horse-drawn hearse.  Outside, the Homestead displays a couple old log cabins and farm implements.  The photo above is a picture of the George Wood cabin - the fifth oldest structure still standing in Utah.  The Homestead actually started out as the Iron Mission State Park displaying numerous iron implements from the early pioneers, including binders, mowers, reapers, scrapers and plows.  The collection is pretty impressive.  The name was later changed to the Frontier Homestead to incorporate more displays and history of Iron County.  If you like wagons and old transportation exhibits, you'll like this place.  Admission is $4.  

Location:  Approximately 250 miles south of Salt Lake City.  Take exit 57 off of I-15 in Cedar City.
