During its mining heyday, over 400 million dollars worth of silver was extracted from the hills surrounding Park City. The silver boom created 23 millionaires, including George Hearst, father of newspaper magnate, William Randolph Hearst.
Sixty-four buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and surrounding hillsides are still dotted with old mine structure and towers. The Park City Historical Museum & Territorial Jail is a great place to become familiar with the town's racy past and its rise to international resort status up to and after the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Historic Main Street is the home to quaint shops, western antiques, art galleries and over 100 unique restaurants. Take some time to stroll up and down the friendly street.
