Activity Overview
Wheeler Historic Farm is a farm attraction located in Salt Lake City. It was originally known as the Henry J. Wheeler Farm, and consists of a 19th century farmstead that has a farmhouse, a granary, an ice house, a chicken house, and a work shed. In 1969, the land was purchased by Salt Lake County, which converted it into the exciting farm attraction it is today. Visitors of all ages can explore the farm, go for a hayride, learn how to milk a cow, play on the playground, and meet the farm animals on a fun-filled day in the great outdoors.

- Go on a wagon ride! The farm's tractor-drawn wagon takes visitors through the Wheeler Woods and into its vast 40-acre landscape for just $2 each.
