The Frontier Museum features many displays of Native American culture; the Pioneers who opened up the Old West for settlement; Marie Ogden and her "New Age" cult, The Home of Truth; as well as samples of minerals, dinosaur fossils, farming equipment and gear belonging to that American icon, the Cowboy.
Next to the Frontier Museum is the Big 4 Tractor Building; fully refurbished, the Big 4 runs in the Pioneer Day Parade yearly and assorted events throughout the Four Corners area. It resides throughout the year inside its newly built home, prominently displayed behind huge windows for all to view.

Consider making Monticello, Utah your home base for traveling in the Four Corners area. At the Welcome Center, we have information, not just on Utah, but the other connecting states of Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. From Monticello, we can map out one day trips for you and your family; enjoy an exciting day of adventuring, then come back to Monticello for a comforting dinner, and a restful night's sleep.
See you soon!!!
