Midvale Museum

Wendy as I am sure many of you already know is a museum aficionado.  Prior to being distracted by a husband and a little boy (and another soon to be little boy) Wendy had that goal of visiting every museum in Utah. She hasn't been able to work much on this goal lately. So for one of our date nights we went Museum hunting. This time Wendy chose the Midvale City Museum.

It took a little while for us to find the museum because we didn't trust our smartphones. The museum's address was on main street; our phones kept taking us past 500 West. That didn't make sense to us; so we kept turning around to find main street. No luck. Finally, we kept going West. Main street in Midvale is on 900 West. In case any of you are ever looking.

The museum was a little one room space. There was a volunteer who showed us around. He was excited about everything in the place; some of which he had donated himself.



Andrew and Wendy were both intrigued by the fact that the museum allowed patrons to actually touch and use some of the "artifacts." Wendy got to play an old style organ and Andrew got to use a typewriter. Ben was intrigued by seeing an eight track player actually functional.




We finished up our museum trip by eating a Philly steak sandwich at Moochies. This appears to be a popular place. The place was standing room only at two o'clock in the afternoon.  After eating the sandwich we understood why. Great food.
