Fillmore
Spend a half‑day in Fillmore: see the Utah Territorial Statehouse and soak at Meadow Hot Springs; add a night if you want a quiet base.
Fillmore is a tiny historic town in central Utah, once the territorial capital. Its main sights – the Statehouse museum and nearby hot springs – fit into a few hours, so a day‑trip from I‑15 is enough. Overnight stays are optional for a relaxed pace.
