EUTHA: Who we are and what we do...

 
EUTHA - pronounced "ee-yoo-th-ah"

"A people without a history are like the Summer wind over the buffalo grass."
(Translation: Hot Air) -- Sioux saying.





The Eastern Utah Tourism and History Association is dedicated to preserving and promoting the outstanding natural, cultural and prehistory of Eastern Utah and Western Colorado through the conservation, preservation, education and responsible tourism.

Founded in 2008 by a group of local tourism professionals and interested citizens, the Eastern Utah Tourism and History Association is a grass roots 501c3 registered non-profit. Our core mission is to provide education to visitors and local residents focusing on 65 million years of history from dinosaurs, to ancient people, to coal mining and railroading.

The Eastern Utah Tourism and History Association is uniquely positioned to be able to provide this education through a wide variety of media including its own unique publications, dvds, brochures, lectures, presentations and educational tours.

In 2012, the Eastern Utah Tourism and History Association will open a visitor information and education center in Price, Utah. Our visitor education center will offer a wide variety of brochures, books, dvds and other educational souvenirs and gifts as well as rotating museum exhibits.

Our Tours...











Join our costumed guides as they take you on a funny, irreverent and historically accurate trip back to eastern Utah's heyday when outlaws rode the trails, coal was king and the railroad was the most important thing in town.
The Eastern Utah Tourism and History Association conducts historically accurate tours on...

Ghost Towns
Cemeteries
Corruption
Outlaws
The San Rafael Swell
Railroads

The Eastern Utah Tourism and History Association also conducts historically accurate haunted tours on...

Coal Camps
Helper
Price

Most tours are available for 2 hours, half day (4 hours) or full day (8 hours).

 

Sagebrush, Dreams and Memories...
Eastern Utah's Coal Camps
Half Day or Full Day

Come along to experience all of the joys and heartaches that mining coal brought to the immigrants new to eastern Utah.

Our half day tour will take us through 8 of Carbon Counties most famous ghost towns including Castle Gate, Spring Canyon and Kenilworth.

For even more ghost towns, join us for a full day tour that includes historic railroad stops.

 

History at the Cemeteries...
"To truly know the history of an area, visit the cemetery."
Half Day or Full Day

Come along and see why cemeteries are considered museums without walls. Meet Carbon County's most famous and infamous outlaws, lawmen, wrongly accused citizens, murder victims and politicians.

The half day tour leads us to the best residents of the Price City Cemetery, the Helper City Cemetery and the Castle Gate Cemetery.

The full day tour also takes us to the Slovenian Cemetery and the historic Scofield Cemetery

 

Carbon County Corruption...

"Every town has its skeletons and we just happen to know where they are buried."

Like most areas, Carbon County has a long history of corruption. Immigrant miners were segregated by race, entire ethnic groups were marked for death by mining companies and Carbon County was the site of the last vigilanty hanging in the United States. And of course, politicans, cops and legal types abused their power for their own gains. Join this tour to see the sights and meet the participants in some of the bloodiest and abusive history in the west.

Today, local 'authorities' just try to whitewash this history calling the real events "dangerous allegations of impropriety." We just happen to have documentation, tapes and photos.

The half day tour takes us to the Price City Cemetery, the Helper Cemetery and Spring Canyon.

The full day tour takes us across more of Carbon County.

Did you know...

Other projects...


We also help out the Community Cat Colonies. These are not the vicious ferals that you hear about. We are in the process of trying to get an organized group of volunteers operating.

This is a non-profit, all volunteer, no-kill/no-torture program dedicated to helping homeless animals. Our purpose is to end the pet overpopulation problem through low-cost spay/neuter programs, support and implementation of humane trap/neuter/return/health programs for homeless cat colonies, innovative adoption programs and education of the public on the importance of spay/neuter/adoption.
