Speed fiends have been traveling to a largely out-of-the-way barren piece of land in northwest Utah for nearly a century now in their quests to achieve velocities most other people can only dream about, and in all that time there has never been more than a small, now defunct museum to commemorate those pioneers. Two men are well on their way to changing that, however, with their plans for the Bonneville Speedway Museum quickly taking shape.

There are Hudsons, Nashes, Packards, and even little known cars such as a Lloyd, a Kaiser, and even foreign cars such as a Yugo, a Renault, a Fiat, and a Citroen. There are cars that are extremely rare--an Amphicar, and cars that are extremely collectible and in demand--a 1957. 58 and 59 Ford hard top convertible and a 1955 and 1956 Ford Crown Victoria. This museum represents cars that the public actually drove and can affiliate with.

The Pioneer Craft House, named for a project commemorating the 1847 settlement of Salt Lake City, celebrated its 60th year at the old Scott School property at 500 E 3300 S. During that time, Craft House has been the home of a valuable international puppet collection, well-used weaving and pottery studios, silversmith and lapidary workshops, an art library, and a peaceful cultural haven for artists and craftspeople. Classes in both heritage and contemporary methods and materials gave students the opportunity to develop interests in fields as varied as tatting, woodcarving, sculpture, flute-making, and even microwave cooking and macrame!
