Historic Tours

Coal miners, railroad workers and Mormon Pioneers from around the globe settled Castle Country. The resulting communities were some of the most diverse settlements in the country - with wild histories.

Outlaws frequented the area and made the San Rafael Swell their hide out.

Area cemeteries give evidence to our settler's ethnic diversity and remind us of the mining disasters that took many lives.

The coal mines and railroads were the centerpiece of the thriving communities. Because there were many operating mines, ghost towns (link to ghost towns) dot nearly every canyon.

Historic Helper was named for the helper engines it connected to the long trains to help them get over the mountain passes. Today its Main Street shops are filled with artist's studios, antique malls and a brewpub.

Murals telling the history of the settlement fill Price City Hall. These beautiful paintings are a fun addition to any tour.
