Winter Quarters is a ghost town in Carbon County, Utah, United States.

Prior to the discovery of coal in 1875, several pioneers had settled in Pleasant Valley, where Winter Quarters was located.

[4] In the winter of 1877, a group of fourteen coal miners led by Peter Morgan was traveling from Fairview to Sanpete County.

[4] Approximately 1,800 people were living in Winter Quarters by 1900, and the mine was considered the safest in the state.

Rescue crews consisting of men from Clear Creek, Castle Gate, and Sunnyside, along with locals from the valley, worked for almost a week recovering bodies.

[6] The Pleasant Valley Coal Company supplied each deceased miner with a coffin and burial clothes.

Miners from Winter Quarters and Scofield relocated to the new mine, and as a result, coal production in Pleasant Valley began to decrease.
