More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org.  \nChinese immigrants contributed in a substantial way to the establishment of Park City as a going concern in the late 1800’s.  By 1893 10% of the city’s population was Chinese with residents living in a small “Chinatown” district along the lower half of Swede Alley.  Today’s talk will explore what brought Chinese immigrants to Park City\, what business opportunities existed for them (and did not)\, and what became of the Chinese community in subsequent years.     \nMark is a mining engineer with over 30 years’ experience in underground mining\, maintenance\, welding\, project management\, safety and consulting. He holds Bachelor’s Degrees in Mining Engineering and Welding Engineering\, as well as a Master’s Degree in Physical Metallurgy\, all from Montana Tech.\, in Butte\, Montana.

SUMMARY:The Trial and Tragedy of Patrick Coughlin presented by Barb Martz and Brian Craig on TUESDAY\, October 14
DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum will host a lecture called The Trial and Tragedy of Patrick Coughlin presented by Barb Martz and Brian Craig on Tuesday\, October 14\, 2025 from 5-6 p.m. at the Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive.  Please note the day change on the lecture from Wednesday night to Tuesday night.  More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org.   \nPatrick Coughlin was the son of Irish immigrants who brought him to Park City as a young boy in the early 1880’s. In1895\, he and two friends stole a box of strawberries from a merchant’s wagon parked on Main Street. When local sheriff John Harrington went looking for them\, they left town on ‘borrowed’ horses. And then things went from bad to worse… \nTogether the lecturers will share what they have uncovered in their extensive research on the events in 1895 and 1896 which led to one of Utah’s most intensive manhunts in history and the first execution after Utah statehood. Barbara will focus on Coughlin’s early life and escapades in Park City; Brian will focus on the trial\, appeals\, and judicial decisions. They hope to present several sides to the story and ask the question of the audience “What do you think?” \nBarbara Martz has lived in Park City since 1973 and is currently a member of the Museum Board of Trustees and a volunteer researcher and tour guide for the Glenwood Cemetery. She has a Bachelor degree in History from the University of California Irvine\, and a Master degree in Public Administration from the University of Utah.\nWhen Barbara first came to Park City to ski in 1970\, she bought a copy of Fraser Buck’s book Treasure Mountain Home\, and was fascinated with Park City’s history\, especially the piece about Pasty Coughlin and friends stealing strawberries from a merchant’s wagon on Main Street and the events that followed. Over the years\, she has continued to research the Coughlin affair\, visiting locations of the critical events and meeting with descendants of lawmen who knew Coughlin.  \nBrian Craig is a lawyer in private practice in Logan\, Utah and a full-time faculty member at Purdue University Global where he teaches online legal courses. He received his undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University and his law degree from the University of Idaho. Brian has more than 23 years of experience as a lawyer. He has written articles appearing in various publications\, including the Utah Bar Journal\, and is the author of several books\, including one addressing Cyberlaw and one addressing legal legacy of the Stringfellow Acid Pits\, a toxic waste superfund site in the Jurupa Valley near Riverside\, California. His latest book entitled Utah Outlaw Patrick Coughlin: The Crime Spree of a Forgotten Desperado is a true crime biography about Park City’s strawberry thief and the first person executed in Utah after statehood. This book is scheduled to be released later this year by Arcadia Publishing and The History Press.  It is available for pre-order on Amazon and will be published January 13\, 2026.  Check utahoutlawbook.com for more information.

SUMMARY:Deaths in the Park City Shafts lecture given by Brian Buck
DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum will host a lecture called Deaths in the Park City Shafts given by Brian Buck on Wednesday\, October 29\, 2025 from 5-6 p.m. held at the Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive.  More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org. \nThe mines around Park City were dangerous places to work.  Miners lost their lives under rock falls and explosions underground or by avalanches and ore wagons on the surface.  Then there was miners’ consumption that caused fatal illness in many miners.  The most horrific mine accidents happened in the many mine shafts around town.  These were always newsworthy and the local Park Record published descriptions of at least 48 shaft accidents between 1880 and 1980.  The author of this presentation has done the research to uncover these news articles.  He will describe a number of these accidents\, the causal factors involved\, traumas to the victims\, and measures employed over the years to reduce the occurrence of the accidents.   \nBrian Buck has degrees in Geology and Geological Engineering and has worked with the mining industry in the U.S. West since 1976.  He studies the local mining history of Park City and enjoys sharing this history with others.  He has presented multiple lectures on mining topics for the Park City Museum\, contributes to the Way We Were columns in the Park Record\, and has led a number of tours to the remaining\nmining structures around Park City.  He is a member of the Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History\, a committee of the Park City Museum\, where he is the Project Manager for the mine stabilization projects of that committee.

SUMMARY:Sisters of the Holy Cross Lecture given by David Nicholas and Stuart Stanek
DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum will host a lecture called Sisters of the Holy Cross by David Nicholas and Stuart Stanek on Wednesday November 12\, 2025 from 5-6 p.m. held at the Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive.  More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org. \nOur lecturers will discuss the remarkable history regarding the Sisters of the Holy Cross and their 150 years serving the underserved in Park City and Utah. These “Angels of Mercy” dared go where others would not. They harbored no fears\, confident both in their faith and female “superpowers”. Initially they provided health care and counsel to Irish immigrants – an ethnic group comprising a significant percentage of workers laboring in the area’s mines. Eventually their services expanded to serve all minorities and/or marginalized groups. A commitment still flourishing in our community. The Beehive State benefited immensely from their Ministry – they established twelve schools\, two hospitals\, one orphanage\, one nursing school\, one college and managed Park City’s Miners Hospital for twenty-four years. And arguably one of their bravest initiatives\, serving on the front lines during the AIDS crisis.  \nDavid Nicholas serves on the Board of the Park City Museum\, is interested in local history\, and frequently contributes to the Way We Were series. Also\, he conducts periodic lectures and historic hikes. His particular interests include but are not limited to Park City’s transportation history and local plane crashes.  \nStuart Stanek is a forty-year broadcasting veteran.  He managed one hundred and twenty-five radio stations in twenty-five different markets across the country. He served as a general manager and a regional President for iHeart Radio which is the nation’s largest broadcaster. He was involved in all facets of the business including sales\, programming\, operations\, and marketing.  He is married to Ann Crooks and they have lived in Park City for thirty-five years.

SUMMARY:R.C. Chambers Part 2 lecture given by Brian Buck and Sandy Brumley
DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum and Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History will host a lecture called R.C. Chambers Part 2 given by Brian Buck and Sandy Brumley on Wednesday\, November 19\, 2025 from 5-6 p.m. held at the Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive. More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org. \nRobert Craig Chambers was a man of many connections. Perhaps most prominently\, he served as the agent of George Hearst in the acquisition of The Ontario Mine. Sandy explored the Hearst relationship in some depth with Mark Danninger in a lecture on June 26\, 2024.  Chambers also had extensive relationships with John Daly\, of Park City\, and Marcus Daly of Butte\, Montana.  While the relationship with Marcus was fairly arms-length\, the relationship with John was more extensive and complicated.  For most of their activities\, R.C. was the president while John was the VP.  When did these relationships begin and how did they evolve?  Brian and Sandy will explore these issues and more! \nBrian W. Buck has resided in Utah since 1973. He obtained a B.S. in Geology from the University of Wisconsin in 1973 and an M.S. in Geological Engineering from the University of Utah in 1976.  He began a career working with the mining industry in 1976 and has experience in various positions including government\, a mining company\, and consulting.  He has experience in all facets of mining including exploration\, mine design/operations\, permitting/government relations\, and final mine closure/reclamation.  He has presented lectures and short courses on mining topics\, served as an expert witness related to mining practices\, and since 2015 has been a researcher of Park City mining history.  He has given lectures on mining for the Park City Museum and written articles on mining for the Park Record newspaper. He is the Project Manager for the Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History\, a committee of the Park City Museum\, and did their planning for closing the Silver King Coalition Mine shaft.  Brian and his wife have lived in Park City since 2009. \nA mountain host and hiking guide at Park City Mountain Resort\, Sandy Brumley is a descendent of iron miners in Minnesota and an avid student of Park City History. This will be the seventh in a series of presentations he has made for the Museum. He is a hike leader for the Museum and a member of Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History.

SUMMARY:John J. Daly and the Daly West Mine lecture given by Brian Buck
DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum will host a lecture called John J. Daly and the Daly West Mine given by Brian Buck on Wednesday\, December 3\, 2025 from 5-6 p.m. held at the Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive.  More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org. \nJohn J. Daly was a mining entrepreneur who arrived in the Park City area in 1876. His story is intertwined with the early leaders and development of the mining industry around Park City where he became immensely wealthy by the time he was forty. He was influential in the growth of Park City and Salt Lake City until 1916.  Brian will describe the early mining development of Park City in general and then focus on how John Daly built a local mining empire. This history will include the worst mining disaster to hit Park City with the deaths of thirty-four miners in the Daly West Mine in 1902.  The history will culminate with the tragic collapse of the Daly West headframe in 2015 and its triumphant raising in 2022.  This restored headframe will continue to be a monument to the miners who died in the Daly West and to the memory of John J. Daly. \nBrian Buck has a B.S. in Geology and M.S. in Geological Engineering and has worked with the mining industry in the U.S. West since 1976.  He studies the local mining history of Park City and enjoys sharing this history with others.  He has presented multiple lectures on mining topics for the Park City Museum\, contributes to the Way We Were columns in the Park Record\, and has led a number of tours to the remaining mining structures around Park City.  He is a member of the Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History\, a committee of the Park City Museum\, where he is the Project Manager for the mine stabilization projects of that committee.

SUMMARY:Zula Nelson: The Life of a Miner’s Wife in Park City 1937-1952 lecture given by Mike Nelson
DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum and Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History will host a lecture called Zula Nelson: The Life of a Miner’s Wife in Park City given by Mike Nelson on Wednesday\, December 10\, 2025 from 5-6 p.m. held at the Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive.  More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org. \nZula Floyd Gordon Nelson lived from December 14\, 1909\, to December 17\, 1997. Her early life was among three close families—the Nelsons\, the Gordons\, and the Orgills—all of whom lived in Wasatch County. She finished the eighth grade\, and then went to work\, first in the Railroad Inn\, a boarding house for railroad workers\, and later at Keeley’s Soda Fountain\, both in Provo.  \nZula married Carl Henry Nelson in July of 1927\, while he was working at the Ontario mine. Over the next 25 years they survived the Depression and World War II\, and they raised four kids. For most of that time\, they lived in Park City. Zulu helped support her family by working as a “cleaner and spotter” at Butler’s dry cleaning in Park City\, and during the war she commuted every day to the Remington arms plant in Salt Lake. This presentation will provide a glimpse into Zula’s life as a miner’s wife in Park City\, from 1937 to 1952. Zula is Mike Nelson’s grandmother.   \nMike Nelson is a senior mining consultant at Stantec Engineering. He previously taught mining engineering at the University of Utah\, and worked in the mining industry for Kennecott Copper\, Consolidation Coal\, and EIMCO Process Equipment Co. Mike’s dad grew up on Ontario Avenue in Park City\, and worked at the Silver King mine while he went to college. His grandfather worked in the Park City mines for over 30 years\, whenever he wasn’t “…laid off or on strike.” Mike is a Distinguished Member and Fellow of the Society for Mining\, Metallurgy\, and Exploration (SME)\, and in 2020 he received the General Patrick E. Connor Award for Service to Utah’s Mining Industry from the Utah Mining Association.

SUMMARY:Who Was Lady Morgan? The Life and Times of Philip Morgan lecture given by Michael O’Malley
DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum and Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History will host a lecture called Who Was Lady Morgan? The Life and Times of Philip Morgan given by Michael O’Malley on Wednesday\, Jan. 7\, 2026 from 5-6 p.m. held at the Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive. More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org. \nWho was Lady Morgan? It’s a question you often hear when skiing at Deer Valley Resort\, where the Lady Morgan Express chairlift serves the Empire Canyon area. There are several hypotheses\, which we will weigh while discussing the mining career of Philip Morgan. A native of Wales\, Morgan filed or acquired 15 claims in the Empire area\, spurring several decades of contention. Morgan was involved in everything from corporate negotiations and lawsuits\, to an armed takeover of the Grizzly Tunnel. He was at times a partner with and an adversary of other mine developers like John Daly and Simon Bamberger. \nMichael O’Malley has skied in Park City since 1980 and lived here since 1997. A graduate of Pomona College\, where he met his wife Lauren\, he’s held marketing positions in a variety of industries over his career\, the most recent stint with the Economic Development Corporation of Utah. He is a mountain host and hiking guide at Deer Valley Resort\, and leads Fox School of Wine’s “Mines & Wines” tours. He volunteers at the Park City Museum\, regularly contributing to the “Way We Were” history article series. He is author of the recently published “Attitude at Altitude: The People’s Guide to Park City and Summit County\,” which is available at the Museum gift shop\, Swaner Eco-Center\, and local bookstores.

SUMMARY:Preserving Park City Mine History lecture given by Brian Buck
DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum and Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History will host a lecture called Preserving Park City Mine History given by Brian Buck on Thursday\, Jan. 15\, 2026 from 5-6 p.m. held at the Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive. Please note the change of day of this lecture from Wednesday to Thursday. More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org. \nThe original reason for Park City was mining.  Between 1872 and 1982 mining attracted workers from all over the U.S. to build a city that became famous nationwide for the mineral riches in over 120 mines around town. Reduced metal prices in the 1950s and 1960s shut down most of these operations and caused the remaining large mining company to repurpose its land holdings from mining to recreation.  Today Park City is widely renowned for its outdoor recreation and the remaining structures of its past mining history have been left to the damaging effects of time and weather.  In 2015 the Park City Museum organized to save these remaining structures and has since collaborated with the ski resorts; local\, state\, and federal government; and private supporters to stabilize over a dozen mining structures around town.  Brian Buck is the project manager for two of the largest of these projects.  He will describe these efforts and discuss the importance of preserving our mining history as an important aspect of Park City’s future. \nBrian has degrees in Geology and Geological Engineering.  His career has been with the Utah Division of Oil\, Gas and Mining\, Getty Mining Company\, JBR Environmental Consultants\, and Stantec Consulting.  All of his 49 years of professional experience has largely involved working with the mining industry in the U.S. West. Since his retirement\, Brian has focused on studying the history of the Park City mining district.  He joined the local Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History committee in 2016 and has been the Project Manager for their major construction projects for the last five years. Brian has presented a number of mining history lectures for the Park City Museum and written Way We Were Articles for the Park Record regarding mining.

SUMMARY:The Wright Brothers and Their Flying Machines lecture given by Dorian DeMaio
DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum will host a lecture called The Wright Brothers and Their Flying Machines given by Dorian DeMaio on Wednesday\, February 4\, 2026 from 5-6 p.m. held at the Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive. More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org. \nThere is a common misconception that the Wright Brothers “tinkered” their airplane together in a bicycle shop and flew it into history\, realizing humankind’s long-held dream of flight. But this simplification diminishes the full scope of their achievements. Who were the Wright Brothers and how did they succeed where others failed? The real story is complex and a tribute to their inventive genius and persistence.  \nTheir success was the product of applying a scientific approach involving years of thoughtful analysis\, experiment\, design\, test and redesign\, the foundation of today’s airplane development. Not only did they risk their lives flight testing each of their new airplanes\, but they struggled to gain recognition and to preserve their legacy as the inventors of true flight. \nOn the centennial anniversary year of the Wrights’ famous first flight\, Park City resident and pilot Dorian De Maio flew his airplane to Dayton and Kitty Hawk to follow the Wrights’ journey in unraveling the mystery of flight. Join him in discovering how the Wrights created their flying machines overcoming numerous technical and personal obstacles–a human interest story that still resonates today.

SUMMARY:The Buffalo Soldier Heritage Trail lecture given by Marcos Van Dalen
DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum will host a lecture called The Buffalo Soldier Heritage Trail given by Marcos Van Dalen on Wednesday\, February 25\, 2026 from 5-6 p.m. held at the Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive. More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org. \nCome learn about the important but often overlooked or misunderstood history of the Buffalo Soldiers and their specific connection to Utah’s cultural heritage. Their story\, which begins shortly after the Civil War\, is one of resilience and lasting contribution\, woven directly into the fabric of the country’s westward expansion and Utah’s unique history. Recently the State Historic Preservation Office\, Sema Hadithi African American Heritage & Culture Foundation\, and several other stakeholders worked together to develop the Utah Buffalo Soldier Heritage Trail.  \nIn this presentation we will discuss the research\, challenges\, volunteer involvement\, and trail locations associated with the Buffalo Soldiers and their time spent in Utah. This specific project transforms extensive research into accessible educational resources\, including interpretive signage and a comprehensive website and ongoing research. Our ultimate goal is for this Utah heritage trail to provide travelers with a unique opportunity to experience history in the exact places where it happened\, fostering a richer understanding and appreciation for the people who helped shape the state. The State Historic Preservation office will also be  providing free copies of the Buffalo Soldier Heritage Trail booklet\, there will be an opportunity to experience actual artifacts and other lesser-known artifacts like photographs and documents connected to this story. \nMarcos Van Dalen is the History Researcher for the Utah State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)\, where he has worked for the past year and a half. In this role\, he leads historical research for the Buffalo Soldier Heritage Trail and contributes to multiple public history initiatives\, including ongoing work documenting the mining history of the Tintic Mining District. He is an undergraduate student at the University of Utah pursuing degrees in History and Asian Studies with a regional focus on China. He is also an active duty U.S. Marine Staff Sergeant with eight years of service\, currently pursuing a commission through the University of Utah NROTC program.

SUMMARY:On the Trail of Fremont Shield Bearers lecture given by Elizabeth Hora
DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum will host a lecture called On the Trail of Fremont Shield Bearers given by Elizabeth Hora on Wednesday\, March 25\, 2026 from 5-6 p.m. held at the Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive. More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org. \nIf you’ve been hiking through many of Utah’s canyons you likely have seen Fremont Shield-Bearers: a striking\, if uncommon\, human form that appears to hold a large circular shield in front of them or off to one side. Many past researchers have theorized the connection between Fremont shield-bearers and similar human forms in both Puebloan and Plains rock imagery traditions\, but so far no quantifiable data have been suggested to evaluate the nature of their relationship\, or even confirm its existence. In this presentation we will sample areas of prehistoric rock imagery to learn how their shield-bearers relate to each other in form\, frequency\, and time. \nElizabeth Hora is founder and Executive Director of High Desert Heritage and Research She has been a professional archaeologist for over 20 years and has worked in nearly every state in the west. Her interest in prehistoric rock imagery grew from her thesis work in the Uinta Basin studying whether environmental and population pressures may have driven territorial actions\, like warfare. Now in her professional role she brings archaeological interpretations to the public and teaches about the importance of preserving cultural heritage and repatriating Native American artifacts.

SUMMARY:I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill lecture given by Sandy Brumley and Emmett Murray
DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum and Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History will host a lecture called I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill given by Sandy Brumley and Emmett Murray on Wednesday\, June 10\, 2026 from 5-6 p.m. held at the Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive.  The lecture is in relation to a new exhibit called Park City Loves a Parade: Our Parades\, Processions\, and Protests from Past to Present which will be on display at the Park City Museum until April 2027.  More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org. \nBaby boomers may recall a song about Joe Hill from 1970 The Woodstock Soundtrack Album. According to that song\, Joe Hill never died but lives on “where working folks defend their rights.” In December of 2025\, Joe Hill “lived on” in Park City through the Park City Professional Ski Patrol Association (PCPSA) as they successfully went on strike against Vail Resorts. Folks may not know that Joe Hill worked for The Silver King Coalition Mines in the days before the events that led up to his death by firing squad in the Utah State Prison in Sugarhouse. Emmet Murray of the PCPSA will provide some happy details from the ski patrol strike while Sandy Brumley\, local PC history raconteur\, will provide the tragic history of Joe Hill.   \nA mountain host and hiking guide at Park City Mountain Resort\, Sandy Brumley is a descendent of iron miners in Minnesota and an avid student of Park City History.  This will be the fifth in a series of presentations he has made for the Museum.  He is a hike leader for the Museum and a member of Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History.   Emmett Murray is a ski patroller at the Canyons Resort at Park City Mountain and has just completed his ninth year.  He was also the Vice President of PCPSPA during the strike which started on December 27\, 2024 and lasted thirteen days.
