Nice building to view with a nice museum inside

Not sure if it’s random selection of who has to lock their purse, or if it’s profiling since I was a female wearing “flip flops, jeans and a black sweatshirt” (to cover my medical condition on my arms). I saw other women with larger purses than me walking around in the museum… museum was awesome, cool artifacts, - purse locker was strange and seemed discriminatory (-1 star). Only me and one other person had to use a locker. 🤔

One of my favorite places.

There's a store called Sons of Utah Pioneers where you can buy them for $15.00. Google it and you'll be on your way.
I'm sorry but we have no donor contact information for Leah Hambleton.
I apologize but we do not have that book digitally.
Call the girls who run the museum on Monday morning and they can answer all of questions......
Yes. Just bring change for the copy fee
I don't think there is a room. This is a museum after all
You can also park at the state Capitol 🙂 it is a short walk, depending on the day, and time of day, I always park on the west side of the building on the street, never have had a problem.
I would just call the museum and talk to the ladies that work there. If they don't have the answer for you they'll definitely be able to tell you where to get your answer
This question is not for local guides, ask the museum directly
While Germany and Austria were the first countries to use DST in 1916, it is a little-known fact that a few hundred Canadians beat the German Empire by 8 years. On July 1, 1908, the residents of Port Arthur, Ontario, today's Thunder Bay, turned their clocks forward by 1 hour to start the world's first DST period. Other locations in Canada soon followed suit. On April 23, 1914, Regina in Saskatchewan implemented DST. The cities of Winnipeg and Brandon in Manitoba did so on April 24, 1916. According to the April 3, 1916, edition of the Manitoba Free Press, Daylight Saving Time in Regina “proved so popular that bylaw now brings it into effect automatically”. However, the idea did not catch on globally until Germany introduced DST in 1916. Clocks in the German Empire, and its ally Austria, were turned ahead by 1 hour on April 30, 1916—2 years into World War I. The rationale was to minimize the use of artificial lighting to save fuel for the war effort.
One of my favorites is the Hilda Erickson case on the main floor. She lived to be 108 and was the last known living pioneer. She was a doctor and a dentist and a rancher in Tooele County. The case includes her long, red hair, her medical instruments and the pulled teeth that she saved. But my very favorite thing is her rattlesnake tail collection. The pioneers battled more than giant crickets!
