In association with the April Architectural Adventures hosted by the museums of Davis County, this exhibit features some of the original architectural drawings of William Allen. During the month of April 2023, visit any of the Davis County museums to pick up a scavenger hunt and learn about this interesting and influential architect. Also, at each participating museum, visitors can pick up a button and lanyard. There are several different designs, so visit each of the Davis County Museums to collect all six. Many of his buildings are still standing and are in use today. On display with the original architectural plans is one of William Allen's water color paintings. This painting is of a church designed for Centerville. Interestingly, William Allen did not get the final bid for the project, and the church was built by someone else. There are also bricks from the Kaysville Elementary and from Davis High School. Come and learn about William Allen.

Verdeland Park was a housing project constructed in 1943 for families of those working at Hill Air Force Base. Families living in Verdeland Park had to have at least one member of the family working on base or serving in the military. With the construction of Hill Air Force Base, the Naval Supply Depot, and other WWII related facilities in the area, people from many diverse backgrounds moved into Verdeland Park. Although the 72 acre housing complex is no longer standing, it was an important part of Layton History. Come see a map of where Verdeland Park once stood. See some of the furnishings from a Verdeland Park house. Also, see some of the uniforms of men and women from Layton and Northern Davis County who served in the military.
