About Camp Floyd State Park Museum
The United States Army established Camp Floyd in 1858 to suppress a perceived Mormon rebellion, stationing over 2,000 troops at the site. The camp, along with the adjacent town of Fairfield, became a hub for military, Mormon pioneers, stagecoach travelers, and the Pony Express during its three-year operation before the Army was recalled for the Civil War.
Today, Camp Floyd State Park Museum preserves three original structures and a cemetery, offering insight into this nationally significant historic site. Visitors can explore the museum and the restored Stagecoach Inn to learn about the area’s role in 19th-century western expansion and military history.
