Honey Harvest Festival

Bring the family to the Honey Harvest Festival at the beautiful Clark Historic Farm!

Come and watch beekeeping and historic demonstrations, play in interactive exhibits, listen to the SWEEEET Fiddlin' Fest, purchase fresh local honey, shop at the craft boutique featuring Utah's Own and honey products, and enjoy a fall day out in the country. Kids' games, pony rides, Healthy Homesteading Skills Fair, honey and harvest contests, food vendors, kids' spook alley, DUP museum, and so much more!

7 Brides for 7 Brothers

With the Clark Historic Farm as a unique backdrop, the Grantsville Performing Arts Council put on its first theatrical production, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, on August 7,8,9 &11, 2014. The show involved over 50 volunteers who contributed their efforts to directing, acting, choreography, lighting and sound, set building, site prep, ticket sales, program design, concession sales, etc. Others donated their generators, props and concessions, and the result was four fabulous evening performances, equal in quality and talent to any you might find at Sundance or elsewhere. We hope to make this an annual event!
