About Camp Floyd State Park Museum

The U.S. Army, Mormon pioneers, stagecoach travelers, and Pony Express riders all crossed paths at Camp Floyd and the nearby town of Fairfield. The Army arrived in 1858 to deal with a feared Mormon uprising and stayed about three years before being called away for the Civil War. The park today includes three structures and a cemetery. Visitors can tour the museum and the Stagecoach Inn to learn about this site, which Utah State Parks describes as nationally important.
