The Restoration of Hyrum’s Historic Elite Hall is making great progress!
We are thrilled to be so close to starting construction on a new annex structure on the east side of Elite Hall to make it accessible and more functional! Over the last ten years, we’ve completed several large improvements to the building (including removing exterior paint to reveal the beautiful original brickwork and re-finishing and strengthening the historic spring-loaded dance floor). Elite Hall has had 50,000+ visitors in the last decade, so we are looking forward to this next accomplishment! If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to support this awesome community project, please contact Jami at the museum, email museum@hyrumcity.gov, or call 435-245-0208.
We have a temporary exhibit on display about the Pioneer Hotel, Hyrum’s first hotel, which opened its doors in 1898 and operated into the 1930s. The hotel was owned by Maria Hansen Jensen Christensen and often hosted traveling troupes of actors performing in Hyrum’s theatres. Learn more about the hotel, Maria’s tragic life story, and see the hotel’s original guest register!
The Hyrum City Museum is excited to collect community input for a potential new mural to create a new outdoor programming space in our alleyway! Visitors are invited to complete their artwork on the pages below
