SUMMARY:Showcasing the Legacy of Lagoon Lecture given by Lynn Arave
DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum will host Lynn Arave who will give a lecture titled Showcasing the Legacy of Lagoon on Thursday\, May 16th from 5-6 p.m. at the Park City Museum Education and Collections Center located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive.  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.

SUMMARY:“My mule enjoyed the joke:” A.J. 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.

SUMMARY:“My mule enjoyed the joke:” A.J. 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.

SUMMARY:Park City Documentary Screens at Santy Auditorium
DESCRIPTION:PARK CITY DOCUMENTARY SCREENS AT SANTY AUDITORIUMThe documentary “Silver and Snow—The Park City Story” will have a rare public screening April 24 at 5 p.m. at Santy Auditorium in the Park City Library Building.  The one hour documentary was produced by Park City resident Larry Warren just prior to the 2002 Winter Olympics and was made available to the Olympic media for their use during the Games.The film was produced in partnership with the Park City Museum and KUED\, Utah’s Public Television affiliate\, and aired on KUED before and after the Olympics.  It is screening April 24 as a part of the outreach efforts of the Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History which seeks to preserve deteriorating mine structures\, and is being co-presented by the Park City Film Series as part of its’ Reel Community Series.“The film was screened daily at the Egyptian Theater during the games\, and aired on KUED at the time\, but hasn’t really been publicly available since\,” Warren said.  “It has been available for sale at the Park City Museum\, but has received little public exposure since the Olympics.”The film features stories from Park City residents who lived through the decline of the mining era and the rise of the skiing culture.  Most of those interviewed had Park City roots going back multiple generations and they related the stories of their ancestors as well\, offering a first person glimpse into a very different era in Park City.  Since the film’s production in 2002\, most of those interviewed have passed away.  The film provides a link to Park City’s past from those who lived it.Copies of the DVD will be available for sale after the screening\, with proceeds benefiting the Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History.
