During your Salt Lake City vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Council Hall
Completed in 1866, Council Hall is a fine example of Federal-Greek Revival architecture. Originally located downtown, it first served as City Hall and the meeting place for the Territorial Legislature; in the early 1960s it was dismantled, coded, and reassembled -- block by sandstone block, 325 of them -- in its present location. Today, it houses the Utah Travel Council (www.utah.com) upstairs; the ground floor contains a bookstore and gift shop. Allow about 3/4 of an hour.
Utah Museum of Natural History
Located in the old university library building, this museum covers more than 200 million years. Some 200 exhibits -- including some intriguing dinosaur exhibits -- take you on a journey through time, describing the geologic and natural history of Utah right up to the present. Allow 1 hour.
Gardner Village
This quaint village is a cluster of restored historic homes and buildings surrounding Gardner Mill, a flour mill built by Scottish immigrant Archibald Gardner in 1877. Brass plaques tell the stories of each of the historic structures. The mill, which is on the National Historic Register, now houses a large store specializing in country furniture and gift items, as well as Archibald's Restaurant. Close to two dozen shops in the other historic buildings, connected by red brick paths, sell a wide range of items, including art, crafts, clothing, candy, quilts, dolls, and home furnishings. There's also a spa, a bakery, and a picturesque duck pond. Plan to spend at least an hour here.
