Gardner Village

Built in 1877 on the banks of West Jordan Canal, Gardner Mill was a prominent site for flour-milling in its original time. Today it serves as the centerpiece of an appealing shopping center and stands as a reminder of the mill's importance in the development of Salt Lake Valley's southern side. As you walk through the village, keep in mind that these historic buildings - a grist mill, mattress factory, blacksmith shop, and general mercantile store - once served as the meat and bones of an early Utah pioneer settlement. Today the village contains Archibald's, a top local restaurant, and a host of specialty shops. Here you'll find everything from Christmas ornaments and quilts, to antiques and children's books.
