"The grocery store was originally located across the street from where the museum is located, before the items were relocated to an antique store in Kamas in the 1990s," she said. "It was Park Record editor-in-chief, Nan [Chalat Noaker], who called and told me the Smith and Brim collection was out in Kamas." The main floor exhibit also features a piece of original wooden water pipe. "In 2004, we received a call from the water department that was replacing the utilities up on Norfolk Avenue," Morrison said. "They said they found an old water pipe and that it looked like a hollowed out tree with metal bands around it. It was intact and in pretty good shape for being buried deep in the ground." The ceiling is two stories above the main floor. "We did that on purpose so we could maximize the space by hanging some of the larger objects that are in our collection," Morrison said. "One of those is the Park City Mountain Resort gondola that ran from the 1970s to 1997." In order to see some of those hanging items at eye level, visitors can climb a stairway to a mezzanine. However, on the way to the stairs, they pass an actual mining double cage that shows how miners and ore traveled up and down the shaft. The stairs themselves wind around a scale model of the Ontario Mine that was owned by George Hearst in the 1880s. "Mines had dug down 1,000 feet and George Hearrst decided to sink a third shaft into the mine," Morrison said. "He had crews build a three-compartment shaft, knowing the third one would have the Cornish pump JAKE SHANE/PARK RECORD The Smith and Brim grocery story display was purchased from a collector who moved the items from Main Street to a location in Kamas. and you can see the pumping rod moving in the model." In addition, the mine carts and the gondola on top of the display move as well. "We added the Silver King Coalition Building and the aerial tramway there because we in Park City are very fond of the aerial tramway towers," Morrison said with a laugh. While the museum is set up in a way that there is no wrong way to explore, it's not chronologically based. "That means at any point, you could learn about different time periods of Park City history," Morrison said. The more people visit, the more they learn, especially because museum staff change the exhibits, and the frequency of those changes depends on the items, Morrison explained. "For example, fabrics, such as [clothing] and some of the textiles in the skiing exhibits, get rotated every six months," she said. "Textiles are the most delicate items we have and the best way to keep them preserved are in cold in the dark. So, obviously putting them on display warms them up and is JAKE SHANE/PARK RECORD The two-story, mechanical Ontario Mine wall is one of the more popular Park City Museum exhibits. not the best way to store them." One of the more popular items is the Graham Brothers fire truck that can be seen in one of the museum's front windows. "The fire truck is one of four the city bought in 1926," Morrison said. The museum, which was built in Park City's original fire and police station, includes a bell tower and char marks from the Great Fire of 1898 that destroyed most of the business district, according to Morrison. "We have a fire alarm that we test every night," she said. "Most places test their fire alarm at noon, so people know its time for lunch. For some reason, Park City tests its fire alarm at 10 p.m. And it goes off every night, except during the Olympics. It went off once, but caused a panic, so we were told not to do it again until after the Olympics ended." The permanent exhibit also winds down into the basement where there are mining cars filled with ore, The Miner ski transport, interactive mining dynamite and drilling displays and the original Park City jail. "A lot of times those memorable moments growing up as a kid is, quite often, going to museums and different places that make an impact," Morrison said. "So, we try to use different means to connect not only with kids, but with adults to make this a memorable experience."
