Trolley Square, Utahs premiere destination for an incomparable shopping, dining and entertainment experience! Youll find a multitude of shops, services and eateries in the converted trolley carbarns and adjoining buildings. Scheduled events and activities frequent our campus at the only festival marketplace found in the state.

Trolley Square has been part of Utahs heritage since 1847, when Mormon leader Brigham Young designated the area as the Tenth Ward. The ten-acre block later served as fairgrounds, until Union Pacific magnate E. H. Harriman chose the site for his state-of-the-art trolley car system. He invested $3.5 million to construct the unusual mission-style carbarn complex in 1908. Within six years, more than 144 trolleys served the valley from the site until the transit line was discontinued in 1945.

The old and decaying carbarns were saved from demolition in 1972 when they were transformed into Utahs only festival marketplace. Relics from the turn-of-the-century were rescued and used in constructing its unique stores.

Trolley Square was registered as a historic site by the state of Utah in 1973. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The Square quickly became and remains one of the states most popular attractions, offering unique shopping, dining and entertainment in a charming, historic atmosphere.

Take a moment and relive the Old West by strolling through the historic highlights of Trolley Square.

Cabin Fever is the card store.....

[FireThunderTV]

Oh, okay. Then what was across from there? I guess I got some wrong information or misunderstood something someone told me? So Cabin Fever is where a bunch of people were shot? I was in that store.

I believe the shooter was an upset Muslim...

[FireThunderTV]

That's probably true, since he was from Bosnia.

The area around SLC in c. 1870 was as much a graveyard as anything else. Many bodies were dug up as SLC grew. Because the Mormon Danites Murdered 100's and often buried them near Briggy's home or on his property. True story
