Pioneer Village
Visit the Wild
Wild West ...
Memories of the Old West abound
at Lagoon each summer as pioneer artifacts transport the Lagoon
guest 100 years back in time. Take a stroll along
rustic wooden sidewalks, get your picture taken in Old West apparel,
or cool off with a double scoop ice cream from the Pioneer Village Ice Cream Parlor.

Guns, slingshots, crossbows,
and cannons...
Pioneer Village is the reconstruction
of a typical frontier community as it might have existed
in the late 1800s. This community consists of 42 authentic
19th century stores and buildings and the artifacts
with which they may have been furnished. The Village
features one of the finest collections of small arms
in the country, including guns, slingshots, crossbows,
and cannons. The Carriage Hall features almost every
type of wheeled conveyance used at the turn-of-the-century. |
A Rock Chapel stands at the head of Pioneer Village. Originally
constructed in Coalville, Utah in 1853, the building was
first used as a fort. It later became a courthouse, a schoolhouse,
and a church.
Among the many other treasures in the Village are a one-room
schoolhouse, a two-story sawed log house, smokehouse, millinery
shop, clock shop, tool museum, hardware store, cobbler shop,
co-op, print shop, music hall, gingerbread house, doll museum,
and town hall.
