Strange, But True!

The world is full of things that are strange… but true! This family-friendly exhibit at the Heritage Museum of Layton shines a light—sometimes literally—on oddities from history, folklore, and nature.

Come explore:

  • Glowing wonders: depression glass, rocks, lichens, and even scorpions that glow under UV light
  • Curious collections: the many unusual ways people have used sea shells through the centuries
  • Vampire legends: garlic, mirrors, and even animals with "vampiric" habits
  • Cryptid corner: tales of the Loch Ness Monster, Bear Lake Monster, the Salt Lake Monster, and the ever-mischievous Jackalope

Strange But True is full of surprises that are fun for the whole family. Step inside to discover a world where fact and folklore blur together—just in time for a season of storytelling and imagination.
