Visit the Museum

Until sufficient money is raised to build the Topaz Museum, we are renting space from the Great Basin Museum at 328 West 100 North, Delta, Utah. Their winter hours are from 10:00 to 5:00 on Saturdays.

In their building the Topaz Museum has a small exhibit of artifacts. Outside is a restored recreation hall that visitors can walk in. It was half of what was the Topaz Boy Scout meeting hall on Block 42. After the camp closed people bought barracks and turned them into houses and farm buildings. This building was purchased by the Eldro Jeffery family and was used as a storage facility until they donated it to the museum.  It has been restored to its 1943 appearance with untaped sheet rock on the walls, masonite on the floor, and tar paper on the outside walls.

The Topaz site is open year round. Visitors should drive on the roads and leave all the artifacts in place. There are maps on this website that can be used for self-guided tours or visitors may contact us to make an appointment for a tour.  The address of the mile-square camp begins at the corner of 10000 West 4500 North, which is 16 miles outside of Delta, Utah.
