Introduction

The Zion Human History Museum sits near the entrance of Zion National Park, telling the long story of human interaction with this red-rock canyon. Exhibits cover the Indigenous Paiute people's habitation, early Mormon settlers' farming, the park's establishment and wilderness ideals, with stone tools, farming implements and historic photos. The building links to trailheads into the canyon, making it the first stop to understand Zion's human context.
