Thursday, October 22nd | 6 PM | Our Lady of the Snows | Free | Sign-up Required

If you love Old West ghost-town history, you won’t want to miss this!

For the first time ever, the mining boomtown of Alta has been partially excavated, and what emerged from the ground is incredible. Thousands of artifacts were uncovered, including a fully intact bottle of 150-year-old alcohol, a leather hat, bullets, melted shot glasses, animal bones, and so much more. Discover what these objects reveal about the rowdy and genteel past of Little Cottonwood Canyon.
