Tucked into Layton Commons Park beside the Kenley Amphitheater, the Heritage Museum of Layton is a free, family-friendly museum that tells the story of the city and its surrounding communities — from Native American heritage and pioneer settlement to the rise of Layton’s neighborhoods, farms, and businesses. With rotating exhibits, hands-on activities, and a restored pioneer cabin, it’s an easy and worthwhile stop for visitors of all ages.
