Native American Artifacts

Native American artifacts from northern Utah and adjacent regions reflecting various cultural traditions dating between ca. 11,500 B.C. and A.D. 1900. These images are examples of basic artifact categories that are typical of western North American foraging and horticultural societies, such as chipped stone, ground stone, ceramic, bone skin, and textile industries.

Weber State University

Weber State University was founded in Ogden, Utah as Weber Stake Academy in 1889. "Weber" comes from the name of the county where the university is located. Weber County was named after John Henry Weber, an early American fur trapper.

In 1933, the academy was made a state junior college. Following World War II, the college outgrew its downtown campus and moved to the present site on the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains overlooking Ogden and the Great Salt Lake.

Weber State College awarded its first baccalaureate degree in 1964. In 1991, the college became Weber State University, appropriately symbolizing its role as Utah’s first comprehensive regional university that also retains a community college mission.

Union Station

Historic Ogden Union Station was built in 1924 after the previous station had been destroyed by fire. It served as Ogden’s passenger train station until 1997 when the last Amtrak through Ogden ceased operations. In the 1980’s, since most of the building was not being used for passenger train business, it was converted to a museum facility. The Utah State Railroad Museum, Browning Arms Museum, Browning-Kimball Antique Autos and the Myra Powell Art Museum are all housed in and about the building.
