Before visiting Cedar Breaks National Monument, we stopped in Cedar City, Utah. This small city is famous for the annual Utah Shakespeare Festival.
Our main purpose for visiting Cedar City was to see the Frontier Homestead State Park Museum but it was closed. Instead, we enjoyed the pleasant downtown and had lunch.
Main Street
We walked down Main Street, which is the heart of downtown. There were plenty of shops and restaurants located in historic brick buildings.
One building of note was the historic Cedar Theatre. It originally opened in 1914 and closed down in 2005. It was renovated and reopened in 2012, but closed again in 2015.
At the corner of Main and Center Streets are the city offices. The building used to be a federal building and post office. Out front is a statue of Henry Lunt, the Mormon pioneer who founded Cedar City in 1851.
The Pub
After exploring the downtown area, we went to The Pub (formerly Pastry Pub) for lunch. They serve great sandwiches, salads, and soups. I had a sandwich and soup combo.
