Pioneer Village, Historical exhibition settlement at Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington, Utah
Pioneer Village is a recreation of a frontier settlement at Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington featuring about 42 structures built in the 1800s style. The collection includes schoolhouses, a chapel, cabins, and craft workshops that document daily life from that period.
The village began in 1938 as a private collection by Horace and Ethel Sorensen near Salt Lake City. In 1976 it was moved to its current location within Lagoon Amusement Park, where it has remained accessible to the public.
The settlement shows how pioneers worked and lived in the 1800s, with a print shop, blacksmith workshop, and craft stores that served daily needs. Visitors can walk through these spaces and see what skills and tools were essential to frontier life.
The village is open during Lagoon Amusement Park hours and can be explored at your own pace without additional cost. Visitors can dress in period clothing for photos at the Pioneer Photo Gallery or simply walk through the buildings.
The Carriage Hall houses an extensive collection of wagons and carriages from the 1800s, showing the various transportation methods of that era. A separate arms museum also displays weapons from the American Civil War and Revolutionary War periods.
