What is the connection between today’s Doppelmayr ski lifts and the historic Silver King Coalition\, Silver King Consolidated\, and Park Utah Consolidated aerial tramways? \nThe Park Record reported that Park City’s aerial tramways were “of the latest design and modern in every particular.  In every detail the tramways were as modern as money and engineering talent could make them.” \nAerial tramways were built to haul large amounts of materials to and from mines economically.  They provided a cost-effective alternative to building roads or railroads.  An aerial tramway worked under all weather conditions even with great depths of snow on the ground.  Learn which mine superintendent had his own special tramway car to transport him to the mine when he visited. \nJoin us as former educator and gondola operator Steve Leatham presents a closer look at these fantastic wire rope machines of the past.

The menu includes: grilled flank steak or portobella mushrooms\, crusty rolls\, delicious salads and sumptuous desserts. \nWe’ll begin by riding the Crescent Lift from Park City Mountain Resort base. Guest Guides Hope and Sanford Melville will lead us on the iconic Keystone Trail to the Crescent\, Apex and California Mines\, the California Comstock Mill and the D& M Mine. Our 5-star lunch will be served at the Thaynes Conveyor. There we’ll meet contractor Clark Martinez and learn about the on-going project to stabilize the long conveyor between the Thaynes shaft and the huge waste rock pile. Our return will be via the Crescent Lift. \nThe hike and lunch is an all-day event (9:30am to 3:00pm)\, with moderately strenuous hiking and elevation gain of 1\,000 ft.

Only 7 amusement parks in the United States have older histories than Lagoon – and they are all east of the Mississippi. However\, “Lagoon” wasn’t its original name and the park has moved locations once. From big band to opera to horse and auto racing to bowling and wrestling to high diving\, Lagoon has hosted a variety of events over the decades — besides its many thrill rides. This lecture will highlight what you probably don’t know about Lagoon’s extensive history.Lynn Arave graduated from Weber State University. He worked as a reporter/editor for the Deseret News for 32 years. He has written 5 books and has a popular blog\, “The Mystery of Utah History\,” often utilized often by fourth and seventh grade Utah history classes. He has conducted extensive research on Lagoon’s early history.This lecture coincides with Park City Museum’s traveling exhibition called Coney Island: Visions of an American Dreamland which will be on display from April 6\, 2019 to May 25\, 2019.For more than 150 years\, Coney Island\, a strip of sand at the mouth of New York Harbor\, has occupied a singular place in the American imagination. From a beginning as a watering hole for the wealthy\, through its transformation into an amusement and entertainment mecca for the masses\, to its struggle for renewal in recent decades\, an extraordinary array of artists have viewed Coney Island as a microcosm of the American experience. The exhibition brings to life the excitement of Coney Island\, showing visitors how its magnetic world of attractions has become a touchstone for American mass culture and popular recreation. Adapted from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art’s flagship exhibition Coney Island: Visions of an American Dreamland\, 1861–2008\, this new traveling exhibition from NEH on the Road will explore America’s playground as a place and as an idea\, examining its persistent presence in the American imagination.

Russell’s Western Adventures\, 1868-1869 Lecture Presented by Daniel Davis DESCRIPTION:“My mule enjoyed the joke:” A.J. Russell’s Western Adventures\, 1868-1869Presenter: Daniel Davis\, Photograph Curator and Associate Librarian\, Utah State University Libraries Special Collections and ArchivesAndrew J. Russell took nearly 1\,000 photographs of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1868 and 1869. Today his photographs are analyzed as art\, as historical evidence\, and as cultural objects. But who was he as a person? Daniel Davis\, author of Across the Continent: the Union Pacific Photographs of Andrew J. Russell\, (co-published by University of Utah Press and Utah State Historical Society\, 2018\,) will discuss Russell’s background and personality and how that influenced the photographs he made. the lecture will be held at the Park City Museum’s Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive on Wednesday\, May 1st from 5-6 p.m. Davis will examine Russell’s images as well as contemporary sources and explain how he came to the conclusion that Russell was\, “an ordinary man caught up in extraordinary events.”Taken as a whole\, the photographs show that Russell did not want viewers to forget who built the Union Pacific. His images celebrate working people – masons working on bridge foundations\, freighters and their wagons\, surveyors with their transits\, engine crews posed on their engines\, as well as tracklayers\, laborers\, cooks\, machinists\, carpenters\, graders\, teamsters\, and clerks pushing paper.Russell contributed to a golden age of Western photography that visually introduced the American West to the nation\, changing its public image from that of a Great American Desert to a place of unlimited economic potential. Daniel Davis grew up in Worland\, Wyoming and attended the University of Wyoming earning a master’s degree in history in 1997. He worked as the photograph archivist at the American Heritage Center from 1996 to 2000. In 2000 he moved to Logan becoming the photograph curator with the Special Collections & Archives Department at Utah State University. He received tenure as an associate librarian in 2006. In 2014 he became the coordinator of instruction for Special Collections. His research interest is with 19th Century photographers of the American West and he has published in the Utah Historical Quarterly and the Annals of Wyoming. He lives with his wife Ashlee and daughter Emilee in Nibley\, Utah.
