The Company Store was built on its present site during the original restoration of South Park City from 1957 to 1959. Its construction was made to complement the rest of the buildings in the town. The Company Store welcomed visitors on opening day, May 15, 1959. It now serves as the gift shop and the exit from South Park City, bringing visitors back to the present day.
The gift shop is the only building where items and memorabilia are available for purchase by our visitors, displayed on the old counters and cabinets from the Merriam Drugstore. The proceeds from the Company Store's sales are used for further restorations and maintenance of the museum complex.
This building was the original entrance to South Park City from opening day on May 15, 1959, until the Visitor Center opened in 2001. It used to be an official branch of the United States Post Office. Once upon a time, letters and postcards could have been mailed from here postmarked South Park City.
