The 100 Year old Wedding Cake - Small Town Museums

We often stumble into some weird stuff. Almost every small town has a local museum, but the one in Hurricane Utah takes "THE CAKE" A 113-year-old wedding cake.

The Hurricane Valley Heritage Park Museum focuses primarily on the construction of the Hurricane Canal, which allowed water to enter the valley and towns to be built. The canal itself took 13 years to build and runs almost 8 miles from the Virgin River to the valley. Its construction was quite dangerous due to the terrain, and a few people died while building it.

Some of the more famous pieces in this museum are focused around food. There is a piece of bacon that was fresh in the 1940s. It was found in a cellar many years later and moved to the museum. Even older than that is a piece of wedding cake that is over 100 years old. It didn’t look too edible! Our boys were excited when they saw that the person who made the wedding cake was from Grafton (since we had just visited the Grafton Ghost Town).

We also visit the White Pine County Museum in Ely Nevada and the Johnson Farm Dinosaur Museum and cotton mill in Washington Utah.
