Fremont Indian State Park and Museum, Archaeological museum and state park in Sevier County, Utah.
Fremont Indian State Park and Museum is an archaeological site and state park in Sevier County featuring collections from Clear Creek Canyon. The facility displays artifacts, rock carvings, and wall paintings alongside hiking trails and two camping areas situated within the canyon landscape.
The site came to light during the construction of Interstate 70 through Clear Creek Canyon, when a large Fremont village was excavated and thousands of artifacts were recovered. The Fremont lived as agriculturalists in north and central Utah from about 400 to 1300, growing corn and making pottery after influence from the Ancestral Puebloans. The state park and museum were created to interpret and display these remains.
The collection displays pottery, baskets, and tools that reveal how the Fremont people lived and worked day to day. These objects show the skills and knowledge they developed over centuries of living in this desert region.
The park opens year-round, with longer visiting hours between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Two separate camping areas and multiple hiking trails make it easy to explore both the museum exhibits and the surrounding canyon landscape.
The museum displays thousands of artifacts excavated from the ancient village uncovered during Interstate 70 construction, forming one of the largest Fremont settlement collections on permanent view.
