What to See in Heber City

CAF Heber Valley Museum

The CAF Heber Valley Museum is a commemorative Air Force museum at Russ McDonald Field, within Heber City Municipal Airport. It connects visitors with American military aviation through historic exhibits, aircraft, and personal stories.

The museum’s displays cover the Second World War, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. They also preserve the stories of local people who took part in aviation, giving the collection a direct connection to Heber City and the surrounding area.

The CAF Utah Wing Museum belongs to the national Commemorative Air Force, a nonprofit aviation association dedicated to honoring American military aviation through flight, exhibitions, and remembrance. The Utah Wing operates two historic aircraft: an N2S Stearman and a T-6 Advanced Trainer. These aircraft form part of a wider Commemorative Air Force fleet of more than 170 vintage warbirds.

For anyone interested in aircraft, military history, or the experiences of people connected with these conflicts, the museum provides one of the most distinctive things to do in Heber City.

Heber Second Ward Meetinghouse

The Heber Second Ward Meetinghouse is a historic building with an important place in Heber City’s religious and architectural history. Construction began on March 16, 1914, and the building was completed in 1915. Francis Lyman dedicated it on December 26 of the same year.

The building served as a place of worship for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Second Ward until the 1960s, when it was sold. It is now St. Lawrence Catholic Church.

Its changing role reflects part of Heber City’s history: a building created for one congregation continues to serve the community as a place of worship today. It is a meaningful stop for visitors interested in the city’s historic buildings and religious heritage.
