Springville may be small but there’s still plenty to see, both in the town and in the neighboring city of Provo. Springville was first discovered by a Jesuit priest named Father Escalante in 1776 but the settlement wasn’t established until 1850 when eight pioneer families made it their home. Springville was originally called Hobble Creek. It was changed as the city grew, however, the stream, which flows from Spring Canyon through the center of town, has kept its name. Visitors can learn more about the history of Springville and Provo at the Bean Life Science Museum, BYU Museum of Palaeontology, the Daughters of Utah Museum-Historical Society, or the Springville Museum of Art which is housed inside a converted Spanish colonial house. Another popular place to visit is Provo Pioneer Village. This is an open-air exhibition open each year from Labor Day to Memorial Day. It hosts the original timber structures that were built by the founders of Springville as well as historical artifacts, wagon rides, kid’s activities, and a blacksmith workshop.
