This is a region with a past rich in geological change, paleontological remnants and a human history that stretches from prehistoric cultures to Mormon pioneer families. During the 1950s, Moab was the center of a uranium boom. The mining and mineralogy exhibits explain where uranium is found and how deposits are formed.
The museum has on display a 50 square-foot three-dimensional relief map that gives a bird’s-eye view of the area.
Everyone loves the museum’s hands-on policy for many of the displays, especially the player piano. This old Pickering upright came by wagon in 1898 from a rail line at Thompson Springs and was ferried across the Colorado River.
