Maynard Dixon Living History Museum

Top choice in Southwestern Utah


In Mt Carmel, the Architectural Digest–noted Maynard Dixon Living History Museum is where renowned Western painter Maynard Dixon (1875–1946) lived and worked in the 1930s and ’40s. Docent-led tours are by appointment only. Look for the house at Mile 84 on Hwy 89 (called State St in town), about 6 miles south of Glendale; it’s easy to miss.

The Museum is maintained by the Thunderbird Foundation for the Arts, which also runs exhibits and artist retreats in adjacent spaces.
