Located just west of the city center and against the Weber River, Fort Buenaventura symbolizes a period of western history that was the transition from nomadic ways of the Indian tribes and trappers to the first permanent settlers in the Great Basin. Settled by Miles Goodyear, the fort has authentic artifacts on display and hosts mountain man rendezvous re-enactments in both the spring and fall. Facilities at the fort include camping and picnic areas, a canoing pond and a replica fort.
The historic Peery's Egyptian Theater is an 800 seat community performing arts center, located on Washington Blvd in downtown Ogden, presenting live musical and theatrical events as well as cinema.
