These sportsman’s hobbies are represented not just with purchasable goods, but also with museum installations, a 55,000-gallon aquarium with a selection of Utah’s native fish, a 30-foot-tall wild game mock habitat, archery and shooting ranges, a gun library, and a restaurant where you can devour or sample a huge variety of wild game from around the world.

Lehi Roller Mills (801-768-4401; www.lehirollermill.com), 833 East Main St., Lehi. This is a specialty food shop that represents the local traditions and LDS history. What began in 1906 as a church farm and flour mill has flourished and grown into a greater food dispensary. This has been a community pillar, having served the valley in times of need, dispensing treats during happier times. Products are limited to baking kits and the like.
