This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Gardner Village is a beloved Utah destination where pioneer history, local shops, restaurants and seasonal events come together. Its unique charm and welcoming atmosphere make it a special place for visitors of all ages. Co-Owner, Angie Gerdes, joins us with more.
Angie Gerdes:
Gardner Village began with my mom, Nancy Long, and her vision for a pioneer flour mill built in 1877 by Scottish immigrant and Utah pioneer Archibald Gardner. What started in 1980 has grown into a Utah landmark featuring local shops, restaurants and small businesses.
At the heart of the Village is the historic Gardner Mill, which my mom restored, and is recognized as a Utah Historic Site and a property on the National Historic Register. Today, my brother Joe and I are proud to carry on my mom’s legacy as owners of Gardner Village.
Visitors can stroll brick-lined paths and explore boutique shops in historic homes, restaurants, a day spa, classes and event venues. There’s also everything from petting zoos and train rides to escape rooms and five-course dining with a Vegas-quality magic show.
WitchFest is underway, bringing fall magic to the Village through Halloween. No matter the season, Gardner Village offers one-of-a-kind experiences found nowhere else in Utah.
