Historic Sites and Tours
Historic preservation begins with understanding the places and buildings that give a community its distinctive character and sense of place. Historic preservation protects these places from neglect and stimulates economic vitality and community pride. Draper is Utah's 16th largest city by size (over 30 square miles) and population (over 51,500 people). Draper's growth has been phenomenal. The new construction, people, and businesses this growth brings are wonderful and welcome. But, put into perspective, Draper's historic resources are few, dwindling, and found on only a few small streets in a very small area of our growing town.
Draper's historic resources belong to everyone — new and longtime residents alike. Learn about some of Draper's historic sites here.
