Daggett County Museum
The Daggett County Centennial Museum was originally the Clay Basin School. It was originally completed in time for school in 1940. The school was purchased from DWR in 1997 and moved to Manila in 1998. Renovations took place and the Museum was opened in June of 2009. The Museum is operated by the Museum Board and run by volunteers. The Museum?s displays are only available for viewing during the summer season. The Museum closes for the season after Labor Day weekend in September and is tentatively scheduled to re-open on Saturday for the Memorial Day weekend in May.
