Free information is available highlighting seasonal events such as rodeos, festivals, and resort snow conditions. Brochures, guides and maps describe attractions in all parts of Utah. Up-to-the-minute data is available on road closures, weather forecasts and other traffic-related issues. One of the American West’s most historic buildings, Council Hall served for almost 30 years as the seat of government for Salt Lake City and the meeting place for the territorial legislature. Constructed in 1864-1866 at 120 East 100 South, it was dismantled in 1961 and restored, brick by brick, on Capitol Hill to make way for the new Federal Building at its former location. It is now an official state information center and bookstore - and home to the Utah Office of Tourism and Utah Film Commission, both divisions of the Utah Governor's Office of Economic Development. |
