If you want to see some old pioneer homes and antiques, and learn some history, this is a good place to learn.

They offer activities and tours of various restored homes and explain how people lived in the 1800's.

There is a charge to visit and if it's not something you want to pay for, just go visit a free historical site.

PROS: Interesting tours and activities

CONS: It's not free

Little Haunts is Awesome for Kids!!!

by sabrinarhiannon at Citysearch

We took our kids, ages 7-13, to ?Little Haunts? at ?This is the Place Heritage Park.? The experience was wonderful for the entire family. The kids enjoyed the petting zoo, pony rides, train ride, making corn-husk dolls, and the nostalgic atmosphere. We could see making it a family tradition. The only thing that I felt could have been improved upon is that, I think, several people came with their trick-or-treat bags, and there weren?t very many treats. Otherwise, though, it was a very fun and memorable experience. The family fun makes up for the lack of treats. I highly recommend it to anyone with kids.

• Pros: Clean, lots of fun

Where Utah's past meets its present.

In Short
This Is the Place Heritage Park contains Old Deseret Village, a living-history museum recreating a Utah community in the time just after the Mormon settlers arrived. The park, now run by a nonprofit foundation, is named after the This Is the Place Monument, erected in 1947 to commemorate the centennial of Brigham Young's famous declaration to the pioneers.
