Registered Historic landmark

A stop by the Courthouse Museum (on the southbound side of Highway 2) is the best way to get a true sense of the history of Cardston and some of the surrounding areas.

The historic and preserved building is filled with museum artifacts that date back to Cardston’s earliest days in the late 1800s. Authentic furniture decorates the museum, and there is little to see for all interests.
