American West Heritage Center

Located just outside the city of Logan in Northern Utah, the American West Heritage Center is a 275-acre living history site and working farm that replicates a small frontier settlement, focusing on exploring the cultural history of Cache Valley from 1820 through the 1920s. Guests can explore the site’s many interpretive elements, such as the mountain men trading post, woodworking shop and pioneer dwellings (some buildings are replicas, while others are historic structures moved to the AWHC from other locations).

Many of the center’s seasonal events celebrate the region’s agricultural heritage, from Baby Animal Days beginning in late March to a corn maze during the Fall Harvest Festival. On weekends in December, the center’s annual horse-drawn sleigh rides draw families returning year after year to sing along with costumed carolers, zip down the sledding hill (BYO sled) and sip steaming mugs of gourmet cocoa. The center’s busiest season is summer, with programming scheduled daily (Tuesday through Saturday) including live demonstrations, hands-on activities like gold panning and ax throwing, and pony rides for children.
