Online Lecture DESCRIPTION:Mining has shaped the State of Utah geographically\, demographically\, and economically. Thousands of old mines can still be found in Utah’s mountains and canyons\, especially in the mountains surrounding Park City. Along with the stories of those who worked and lived there\, they bear witness to the hard work and resourcefulness of Utah miners and their families. \nFor a long time\, however\, the physical remains of mine surface plants\, mills\, and mine camps were treated as scrap metal\, depressed real estate\, and dangerous hazards rather than something worth saving or studying. As a result\, much of Utah’s mining heritage has been lost — and much of what remains is endangered. Success stories show how historic properties can be economic assets and provide important information about history. Creative approaches can balance preservation with reclamation and development to save headframes\, mine buildings\, and mining towns for future generations. \nJoin Dr. Seth Button\, archaeologist for the Utah Division of Oil\, Gas\, and Mines to for this online Zoom presentation.

At a ceremony at Promontory Summit on May 10\, 1869\, the Union and Central Pacific Railroads joined and a solid gold railroad spike became the symbol for the completion of the railroad. What many people don’t know is that Utahns played a major role with the transcontinental railroad through investment\, surveying\, and labor. In turn\, the railroad brought significant cultural\, economic\, and environmental changes to the state. Utah became more connected to the rest of the nation. Eastern goods could be shipped quickly and cheaply to Utah\, and Utah could send products all over the country. The railroad also brought people of different religious faiths to the state and made it a more diverse place to live. \nDaniel 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. \nPark City Museum will host A World Transformed: The Transcontinental Railroad and Utah exhibition created by The Merrill-Cazier Library  at Utah State University and the Utah Division of State History to celebrate the sesquicentennial of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad.   The exhibit will be on display from February 10th to March 15th. \n  \n  URL:https://parkcityhistory.org/event/the-transcontinental-railroad-in-utah-lecture-given-by-daniel-davis/ CATEGORIES:Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/1984-1-6.gif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20200212T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20200212T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T115259 CREATED:20200109T232931Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200109T232931Z UID:10000304-1581526800-1581530400@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:Lewis and Clark Expedition Lecture by Dorian DeMaio DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum will host the History Speaks lecture “The Lewis and Clark Expedition” presented by Dorian DeMaio  on Wednesday\, February 12th from 5-6PM at Park City Museum Education &Collections Center located on 2079 Sidewinder Drive.  The Louisiana Purchase and the subsequent Lewis and Clark Expedition forever changed this nation and have captured the imaginations of many.  Retired Park City resident and pilot\, Dorian De Maio\, enjoys flying his airplane to historic places across the west.  For the past decade\, he has traveled along the Lewis and Clark Trail and brings to life the Corp of Discovery in pictures and words which he will share in this presentation. \n  URL:https://parkcityhistory.org/event/lewis-and-clark-expedition-by-dorian-demaio/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Lewis-Clark-at-three-forks.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20200205T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20200205T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T115259 CREATED:20200109T232310Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200109T232310Z UID:10000302-1580922000-1580925600@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:Which Way Underground? Lecture by M. Kim McCarter DESCRIPTION:From the Jordanelle Special Service District Collection. \nThe Park City Museum and The Friends of Ski Mountain Mining will be hosting a lecture given by Professor M. Kim McCarter called Which Way Underground? on Wednesday\, February 5th from 5-6 p.m. at the Education and Collections building located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive.  The Sutro tunnel of Comstock lode fame pioneered construction of tunnels driven to drain and access underground precious metal mines.   This amazing six mile long engineering marvel was completed 1878.  Park City can claim its own engineering marvel in the 1894 completion of the Keetley tunnel which provided drainage and access to the Ontario and other interconnected mines.  Even with the advent of 21st century technology\, many of us marvel at the ability of engineers to precisely direct underground tunnels to a desired destination.  But the task was even more daunting considering the equipment available to 19th century surveyors.  The presentation will deal with how antiquated technology was used to complete these and similar projects.  A simplified explanation of surface and underground surveying principles and exhibition of vintage equipment will be included.  The objective of the dialogue will be to provide further appreciation of challenges encountered by engineers and surveyors in developing the historic Park City mines. \n  \nKim McCarter is a Utah native and received his Bachelor of Science and PhD. in Mining Engineering from the University of Utah.
