Madsen Furniture Company, and the Deseret Hospital. With this significant construction boom, the Park's finances were challenged, and the state legislature made an emergency appropriation to keep the park afloat. The construction of a replica of the original BYA, the school that became Brigham Young University, was funded by gifts from donors including Stanley and Mary Ellen Smoot. In 2006, management of This Is The Place Foundation was changed, and with it the direction of the Park. Emphasis was placed on expanding the programming and access to the Park. With this emphasis on programming, two replica trains were acquired to aid in accessibility and entertainment. A new logo was adopted and all printed materials were upgraded. In 2007, the Lelegren Tinsmith Shop was added creating a new historic trade in the park. The Emery County Cabin was added as well as Native American displays were made. The Monument Café was opened, as were a new Pioneer Playground and Petting Corral. The Park had a great setback as the new director embezzled over $300,000 from the park. A splash pad called Irrigation Station was added to teach about water in Utah.
