Sandy Area Historical Museum - 2007

This museum was constructed in 2007 and sits directly on the Oregon Trail. Roughly 50,000 pioneers passed right by this site. In addition to housing and displaying artifacts from Sandy’s history, it serves other civic functions as well. The museum is the realization of the work, commitment and generosity of the members of the Sandy Historical Society. Every year since 1926 the Sandy Historical Society, originally the Sandy Pioneer Association, has been holding regularly scheduled meetings, collecting artifacts and historical information. Many artifacts have been collected and there is a considerable display of the area’s history at the museum. Since 1973 the society has published three books on the history of the Sandy Area. These books are for sale at their Gift Shop.
