The museum was not open when we visited. We will definately have to go back for a visit soon.

Lehi's John Hutchings Museum of Natural History has its origins in its inquisitive founder, Mr. Hutchings. In 1955, Mr. Hutchings and his wife Eunice donated their vast collections of rocks, minerals, fossils, shells, stuffed birds, eggs, Native American artifacts, pioneer items, and Wild West guns and memorabilia to the non-profit Museum corporation to be held in trust for the people of Lehi. The collection has continued to grow as friends of John Hutchings have donated their collections to the Museum.

The Hutchings Museum is a hands-on teaching Museum and now has many new interactive, touch, and feel exhibits. Add the personal attention of our knowledgeable docents and you will find we have become a dynamic place that students won’t forget.

INTERNSHIPS

The Hutchings Museum is a great place to learn job skills and practice your major. If your major is Anthropology, Archeology, Geology, Palentology, Biology, or History there is something here for you. We need help not only with giving educational tours to school children, but with exhibits, public events, marketing, our web presence, cataloging artifacts and specimens, and so much more.
In the past we have had interns conduct surveys during public events, create and teach workshops about their field of study, and represent the Museum at expo’s and public meetings.
Bring us your ideas and we will work together to help make your internship a rewarding time with plenty of relevant experience to put on your resume. The Hutchings Museum is a place where we all learn new things every day!
