Park City has been called the best-preserved
mining town in the West. After the discovery of silver in 1868, the
small mining camp grew into a rough and ready boomtown where miners,
gamblers, merchants, saloonkeepers and ladies of the evening from
almost every country put Park City on the world map. After the city's
1884 incorporation, mining flourished until the 1930's and gradually
declined into the 1960's. The first ski resort was started in 1946
and in the early 1960's the now Park City Mountain Resort saved the
city from ghost town status.
Today Historic
Main Street is renowned for its great restaurants, art galleries,
shopping and a mixture of restored historic buildings and complementary
new construction. The Historic District has a unique blend of restored
historic homes and new homes of similar scale. Situated between
the Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley, Old Town is the center
of visitor activity with a personality that would make our founders
feel right at home.
