    July 12, 2026 - Helper, UT…read more Enjoyed our walk down Main Street. It was early Sunday, so most shops were closed, but with all the historic buildings, there was much to see. There is an audio walking tour through the TravelStories app which is helpful as a guide. Helper was one of Utah's most ethnically diverse towns in the early twentieth century. Italians, Slovenians, Croatians, and Serbians immigrated to the area to work in the coal mines for the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad. Scattered along Main Street are 27 embedded sidewalk plaques. Each one reads "Welcome Friend" in a different language, representing the diverse backgrounds of the miners and railroad workers who built Helper in the 20th century. What a great tribute!

    Not long ago, the city of Helper, Utah had a bad reputation. Residents from neighboring towns…read moreavoided Helper due to its crime rate and overabundance of drugs. While this may be true for some parts of the city, the downtown area is actively undergoing a face lift, and people are putting a good amount of effort into making it a charming small town. There are glorious old buildings-rich with history-all around. Each one has its own story, and possibly a ghost or two. Many of the original signs are still in place outside of the businesses-which adds the the ambiance. If you walk up or down the main street, you'll likely find yourself in conversation with a local resident. Most of them are extremely friendly, eager to chit chat and happy to tell you about the town. Take in some of the local eateries and museums, and be sure to get a picture with the iconic statue of Big John (you can't miss him.)
