HEBER CITY HAS THREE SHINING EXAMPLES\u00a0 OF WELL PRESERVED AND HIGHLY CHERISHED\u00a0 HISTORICAL TREASURES: THE DAUGHTERS\u00a0 OF THE UTAH PIONEERS\/WASATCH COUNTY\u00a0 MUSEUM, THE COMMEMORATIVE AIR FORCE\u00a0 HEBER VALLEY MUSEUM AND THE HEBER CITY\u00a0 POLICE DEPARTMENT MINI MUSEUM.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All display the community\u2019s appreciation for their rich history. Founded in the late 1850s by sturdy Mormon pioneers, Heber City tells its story through the eyes of its descendants.
\nThe old Carnegie Library building on Heber\u2019s Main Street houses the DUP\/ Wasatch County Museum. The Daughters are defined as those who have ancestors who came to the Utah Territory prior to the completion of the Trans-continental Railroad May 10, 1869. Many of the docents who volunteer at the museum are descended from the early settlers of the valley. Inside the museum hang many large portraits of long-ago residents, o\ufb03 cials and family groups. Beautiful antique clothing, quilts and ornate furniture\u2014including an organ and a table carried\u00a0cross-country in covered wagons \u2014are artfully displayed here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The tale of the\u00a0Black Hawk War\u00a0 with the Ute\u00a0 Indians unfolds\u00a0 with photos\u00a0 of the militia\u00a0 charged with protection of the settlers. Native American photographs, artifacts, early tools, apothecary bottles, documents and accessories necessary to 1800-1900s daily living are exhibited and cared for here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Devoted volunteers are the key operators, aviators, vintage aircraft restorers, and caretakers of Heber Valley\u2019s CAF (Commemo-rative Air Force) Utah Wing Museum at the Russ McDonald Field in Heber\u00a0City. The non-profi t organization is a local branch of the national entity dedicated to honoring American military aviation through fl ight, exhibit and remembrance.<\/p>\n

Inside the museum\u2019s hangar at the southern end of the runway, donated memorabilia is displayed from local families of airmen in WWII, the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Photos, clothing, medals earned and letters from home tell the courageous tales of men and women\u00a0 committed to\u00a0 keeping America\u00a0 safe and free.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Aircraft on display are the 1941 Pt-17 Stearman, a T-6 Texan and a Navy SNJ. The open-cockpit,\u00a0biplane Stearman N 1387V was designed prior to WWII to serve as a trainer for U.S. Navy and Army pilots. Two seats, one directly behind the other, held the instructor and the student. This plane went from trainer to crop duster to recreational aircraft, and finally was brought into the CAF family. The North American trainers, T6\/SNJ nick-named \u201cTexan,\u201d were advanced training aircraft used for formation, gunnery and tactics.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
RESTORED TO THEIR FORMER GLORY, THESE VINTAGE WARBIRDS ARE AVAILABLEFOR RIDES:\u00a0 Chris Ryan 801.719.8876\u00a0 and David Gorrell 435.513.3214<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Heber City Police Department has a mini museum in their headquarters displaying historic items donated by community members. Chief Dave Booth asked his employees to research and collect artifacts dealing with the town\u2019s early\u00a0organization, and a collection was started. View a photo here of the first jail built in Wasatch County in the late 1800s. Roy Moulton was Heber City\u2019s first police chief from 1951 to 1956. The family\u00a0 o\ufb03cer Lamar Simpson donated his cap, shirt, all insignia, his whistle and jacket, depicting life as a policeman in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Old registry books and bills of sale from the city\u2019s early days were found in the city offices before they were torn down. The city pound-keeper collected horses and cows in lieu of damages and fines, then sold them at auction to the highest bidder. \u201cMarch 2, 1929-Received from Harold Duke one Dark Brown Horse about 3 years old, no brand visable, white spot in forehead, weight about 1000 lbs, claimed by Fred Carlite.\u201d<\/p>\n
