Things to do in Lehi
John Hutchings Museum Of Natural History
Lehi's John Hutchings Museum of Natural History has its origins in its inquisitive founder, Mr. Hutchings. His collections soon overflowed buildings at home. In 1955, Mr. Hutchings, his wife Eunice, and the Hutchings family donated the collections to the non-profit museum corporation to be held in trust for the people of Lehi. The objective is the preservation of artifacts and specimens for the education of future generations. Giving the public an appreciation of its heritage in the accomplishments of pioneer ancestors is also an important objective. Call (801) 768-7180 for more information.
