Willard Bay

Willard Bay State Park

Willard Bay State Park is a sparkling fresh-water recreation area, is one of Utah's most delightful spots for boating, water-skiing, fishing (year-round!), and eagle watching.

Historic Brigham City Depot

The depot was built by the Oregon Shortline in 1906 and had served thousands of travelers in the past. The 1925 records show 15 daily departures from this Depot but since then passenger service declined and it is now a museum. The Depot houses a museum of railroad and historical artifacts, and serves the area of Northern Utah as an education hub for schools and patrons. A small gift shop is located in the Depot.

Fruitway

Utah's Famous Fruitway

Utah's Famous Fruitway is conveniently located along a 10-mile stretch of Northern Utah's Highway 89 located between Willard and Brigham City. The valley orchards are backed by rugged snow-capped peaks of the Wasatch Mountain range. Lovers of fresh fruit and veggies picked daily at the 30+ local farms will find the 10 mile travel through some of the most beautiful orchard country in the nation well worth it. Most fruit stands have been passed down from one family generation to the next. The hungry traveler will want to make it a point to stop at the Maddox Ranch House to eat and take in a performance at the Heritage Theater in Perry, the oldest community theater in the state, operating year-round.

tabernacle

Brigham City LDS Tabernacle

Built on a site chosen by Brigham Young himself, the Tabernacle is an architectural gem. Construction began in 1868 and was completed and dedicated in 1890. Six years later the building was gutted by fire, rebuilt and rededicated in 1897.		It is still used for LDS conferences, concerts and other meetings. Take a free guided tour during the summertime.
The tabernacle is located at 251 S. Main Street.
