Human History Museum Trail
Zion Canyon's human story, a half mile from the entrance

About
The Human History Museum sits a half mile inside Zion's south entrance, connected to the Pa'rus Trail by a short unpaved spur. Housed in one of the park's original Mission 66 buildings, it holds a rotating collection of artifacts covering the human story of Zion Canyon, from the Southern Paiute people to the Mormon settlers who arrived in the 1800s. A 22-minute introductory film plays on the half hour, and rangers give occasional talks.
