Leeds

Leeds at a glance

Washington County · Utah

Leeds offers a local-history connection to southern Utah’s mining and conservation eras. The town’s museum guide describes Silver Reef as a nineteenth-century mining boomtown, with its historic Wells Fargo building now a starting point for understanding that chapter of the area.

A second story survives at the Leeds Civilian Conservation Corps camp. The town dates the camp’s opening to October 1933 and notes that stone from Silver Reef was reused in its administrative buildings. Together, the museum and camp make a compact historical introduction without treating the surrounding ghost-town landscape as an unrestricted recreation site.
