Ethnic and Mining Museum of Magna

9056 West Magna Main Street
Magna, UT 84044

Mission:

Our mission is to preserve the history of the people who immigrated and settled in the communities built around the railroad and mining industries of the West.

By the 1900’s, over 40 nationalities of men and women worked and lived in the mining camps of Utah. Often leaving loved ones behind, these immigrants from such countries as Armenia, Austria, Bulgaria, China, Croatia, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea. Mexico, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and many more, worked side by side throughout Utah’s mining centers, enabling Utah to become a renowned powerhouse in the extraction of precious metals and coal. Their presence impacts Utah to this day. Because they sought the “American Dream,” their children and grandchildren can now live that dream.
