Nine Rails Creative District

Ogden City and other community partners have established the Nine Rails Creative District in Ogden, Utah. This district creates new opportunities for the community to engage with art in the public realm and supports places and programs that encourage creative people to live and work in Ogden. The Nine Rails Creative District has been identified as the area between Grant and Madison Avenues, from 24th to 26th Streets.  
The name Nine Rails pays tribute to Ogden’s history as a railroad town, originally a major connection point on the Transcontinental Railroad and later, during World War II, a hub for nine different rail lines. “You can’t get anywhere without coming to Ogden” was a city slogan for a decade or more. The Nine Rails name is also symbolic of the Nine Muses from Greek mythology, with each muse representing a different form of artistic expression.
