FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTIONS

IS GARDNER VILLAGE HISTORIC? Gardner Village is made up of a sampling of some of the best in Utah's rich history. To build The Village, we relocated some of the state’s oldest buildings and homes (including an old train station depot!), saving them from destruction and breathing new life into them to create our one-of-a-kind shopping, dining and event destination. The iconic flour mill, built by early Utah pioneer Archibald Gardner in 1877, is the heart of The Village and where it all began back in May of 1980. The building is listed on the National Historic Register and is home to Archibald's Restaurant and CF Home Furniture & Design. From these first businesses, Gardner Village has grown to include boutique shops, restaurants, event venues, an escape room, as well as a non-profit animal rescue.

WHO OWNS GARDNER VILLAGE? Gardner Village is privately owned and operated by Utah natives and brother-sister team, Joe Long and Angie Gerdes. The businesses located here lease their spaces from the landlord and are locally-owned and operated by individual owners. Gardner Village doesn't rely on government funding.
