Utah Archives Month is a chance for museums, libraries, archives, and other collecting institutions across the state to celebrate the role that archives play in our daily lives while highlighting some fun history. This year’s theme is Archives Outside! Utah is home to landscapes of natural beauty, from snow-flocked mountains to vast scarlet deserts. Perhaps your organization has a collection of records featuring Utah’s natural resources, parks, ranches, forests, and more that you can show off to your audiences and take them out of the records room and into the great outdoors!The Utah Pin Quest has been restocked!

Over the last ten years, we’ve completed several large improvements to the building (including removing exterior paint to reveal the beautiful original brickwork and re-finishing and strengthening the historic spring-loaded dance floor). Elite Hall has had 50,000+ visitors in the last decade, so we are looking forward to this next accomplishment! If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to support this awesome community project, please contact Jami at the museum, email museum@hyrumcity.gov, or call 435-245-0208.
