Frontier Homestead State Park, where history becomes your story, in partnership with the Cedar City Corporation, celebrates the founding of Cedar City with 2 days of hands-on activities designed to honor the spirit of our community and those who created opportunities for growth. Enjoy the cool, crisp fall air on Friday, November 8th, and Saturday, November 9th, as Frontier Homestead hosts its annual Iron Mission Days. The cost is $4 per person or $20 for families of up to 8.

Friday, November 8th, guests can enjoy self-guided pioneer activities beginning at 10 AM. Activities will include pioneer games, hand-cart pulling, and maypole. The local HAM radio club will be broadcasting from our museum through the day. Then join us for a free family game night Friday evening from 6 to 8 PM sponsored by Cedar City Corporation.

Saturday, November 9th, in addition to the self-guided activities and the HAM radio club, we’ll have a number of living history demonstrations including our ever-popular blacksmith working in the forge. Shop for gifts for others or yourself at our artisan vendor market. Activities will run from 10 AM to 4 PM on Saturday.

And even though snow hasn’t yet begun to fall, winter is not far off. Mark your calendars now for Holidays at the Homestead scheduled for December 4th through 6th and 9th from 5:30 pm to 8 pm each evening. Festivities will include crafts, entertainment, and possibly a visit from a special Christmas VIP. Regular day-use admission fees apply during the Holidays at the Homestead event.
