Things to Do in Springville, Utah

Springville calls itself Art City. Eight pioneer families settled it in 1850, and the Springville Museum of Art, dating to about 1937, is Utah's oldest museum for the visual fine arts. The town's first name came from Hobble Creek, after a horse that lost its hobbles there, and the canyon by that name is still where locals go for Jolley's Ranch, the golf course and fall color.
