Roadside Attraction

Dinah the Dinosaur

999 East Main Street
Vernal, UT 84078

Dinah formerly graced the entrance of the long-gone Motel Dine A Ville in Vernal. She was designed by Helen Millecam, co-owner of the Dine a Ville. The Young Sign Company of Salt Lake City did the fabrication in 1969.

When the motel closed, the Millecams donated Dinah to the city who in turn erected her on the east side of town as a greeter to the city's visitors.

After 40 years, Dinah remains one of Vernal's most recognized and photographed landmarks.
