This program explores the history of feed sacks\, the reuse of a simple piece of leftover fabric\, and how homemakers used what was available to them to meet the needs of their families and how that history can inspire us today. A message that can resonate with consumers during our current economic climate. \nMarla Day received her B.S. and M.S. in Apparel and Textiles from Kansas State University. She has been curator of the university’s Historic Costume and Textile Museum for much of her career\, as well as being a K-State Research and Extension associate in textiles. She has been responsible for numerous curated exhibits including Mantles for Women: Rites of Passage; Nelly Don: Dresses that Worked for Women; Woven wonders: A Cross-Section of American History; and the exhibit catalog Life Passages: Women\, Dress\, and Culture. She was awarded the NEH Scholarship in both 2007 and 2008 from the Campbell Center for Historic Preservation Studies and Certification in Museum Management. \nMarla currently serves on several community boards including the Sunset Zoo Conservation Trust\, the Friends of the Beach Museum of Art\, the Riley County Historical Museum Board of Directors\, and is Vice-President of the Kansas Museum Association. Day has traveled the country and consulted for the Smithsonian’s Save Our Treasures Program for the last several years and continues to advise the public on methods to preserve the history of their textile keepsakes through public programs.

More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org. \nSince the shorelines of Lake Bonneville receded\, Great Salt Lake has featured prominently in the natural and cultural history of North America and beyond. Humans possess a close connection to the lake as well\, from early Paleoindians hunting mammoths on its marshy shores\, to Fremont villages and agricultural fields nestled at its shores. More recently\, the lake has been seen as a place of exploration\, recreation and commerce. The salty brine featured as a major recreational draw\, supporting several different bathing resorts from Black Rock\, to Lakeside\, to Saltair (I\, II\, and III). All of these past humans and their activities have left a physical reminder on the ground in the form of archaeology\, come explore those remains from the historic-period. \nMerritt received his Ph.D. from the University of Montana in Anthropology in 2010\, focusing on the archaeological and historical investigations of the Overseas Chinese. Before that\, he received a Master’s of Science in Industrial Archaeology from Michigan Technological University where he studied the trade and consumption of Mormon-produced pottery in Utah. Since 2004\, Merritt has worked in a variety of professional archaeological settings including the United States Forest Service in Utah and Nevada\, private archaeological contracting in Salt Lake City and finally as the State Historic Preservation Officer for the State of Utah. In addition to full time employment with the State of Utah\, he is Adjunct Faculty at Salt Lake Community College and Weber State University where he teaches courses on Historical Archaeology and Cultural Resource Management.

This film is being shown in conjunction with our exhibition Patient No More: People with Disabilities Securing Civil Rights that will be displayed at the Park City Museum until April 16th. Patient No More is presented by the Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability at San Francisco State University\, made possible with support from California Humanities\, and traveled by Exhibit Envoy. \nCrip Camp film information- In the early 1970s\, teenagers with disabilities faced a future shaped by isolation\, discrimination and institutionalization. Camp Jened\, a ramshackle camp “for the handicapped” in the Catskills\, exploded those confines. Jened was their freewheeling Utopia\, a place with summertime sports\, smoking and make out sessions awaiting everyone\, and campers who felt fulfilled as human beings. Their bonds endured as they migrated West to Berkeley\, California – a promised land for a growing and diverse disability community – where friends from Camp Jened realized that disruption and unity might secure life-changing accessibility for millions. Co-directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Nicole Newnham and film mixer and former camper Jim LeBrecht\, this joyous and exuberant documentary arrives the same year as the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act\, at a time when the country’s largest minority group still battles daily for the freedom to exist.\nPresented in partnership with Park City Museum as part of their “Patient No More” exhibit and the Raising Voices Film Series\, supported with grant funding from Park City Municipal Corp and the Park City Chamber of Commerce. The film will be shown with Open Captions. \nThe film is rated R with a run time of 106 minutes. \nAccessibility Information- Wheelchair accessible theater and bathrooms\, assisted Listening devices and Open Captions.

More information can be found at www.parkcityhistory.org. \nIn 1869 a company of explorers set off to survey the last uncharted territory in the American West by traveling down the Green and Colorado Rivers and becoming the first white men to brave the entirety of the Grand Canyon. Intended as an expedition of scientific survey and discovery\, the journey became a fight for survival against unpredictable rapids and near starvation. They were led by a 35 year old naturalist/scientist\, Major John Wesley Powell who had lost an arm in the Civil War. Of the ten men who challenged the river\, six completed the 1000 mile trek\, but incredibly none were taken by the rapids. None of the men had white water running experience or knowledge of the many hazards that lay ahead as they proceeded into the “Great Unknown”. \nJoin Park City resident and pilot Dorian De Maio as he over-flies the expedition route describing the adventures and great hardships of the expedition team.

Please register for the lecture at www.parkcityhistory.org/events. \nMichael Rutter will lecture about real people who didn’t make good choices—and those who lived and died in fear as a result. The inconvenient truth in some parts of our history are not pretty and should give us nightmares. Our past is a curious amalgamation of triumph and tragedy. Forging a new country is hard work\, but it must be measured in human terms. A sanitized history should be more frightening than the truth\, especially when we examine examples of ethnic cleansing. Rutter will look at how tabloids and newspapers manipulated public opinion and negotiated manufactured narratives. Some law enforcement agencies—touted as nonpareil good guys in Western mythology—could more accurately be considered instruments of ethnic cleansing. Just as shocking are examples of vigilantes who took the law into their own hands. \nMichael Rutter is a recipient of the Ben Franklin Book Award for Excellence and the Rocky Mountain Book Publishers’ Award. An “addicted” fly fisherman\, his outdoor essays have been published from Yale University to Outdoor Life. He worked with American Experience on “The Wild West Series: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” He has been a Christa McAuliffe Fellow and an AT&T Scholar.

The lecture is part of the programming events for ¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues / En los barrios y las grandes ligas\, a Smithsonian bilingual exhibition that will be on display at the Park City Museum from October 29 through December 18\, 2022. To register for the lecture\, please visit www.parkcityhistory.org/events. \nMost everyone knows about the Negro Leagues and Jackie Robinson\, but few people know about the long history of Latinos and Latinas in baseball beyond the Majors during the 20th century. Since 2004\, the Latino Baseball History Project (LBHP) has also documented the role of baseball and softball in Mexican American communities of southern California and in states where Mexican American teams proliferated. Through a collaboration between librarians\, curators\, university professors\, students\, and players and their families\, the LBHP has produced a permanent archive at the John Pfau Library at California State University\, San Bernardino (CSUSB)\, museum exhibitions\, photo and oral history collections\, book publications\, player reunions and many related activities. LBHP’s research was also part of the ¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues/En los barrios y las grandes ligas Smithsonian exhibition. \nDr. Jose Alamillo was born in Zacatecas\, Mexico and raised in Ventura County\, California. His family worked in the year-round lemon industry which allowed him to attend local public schools uninterrupted. At middle school age\, he took part in University of California\, Santa Barbara’s Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and earned B.A. degrees in Sociology and Communication at UCSB. He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in Comparative Cultures at University of California\, Irvine. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship at University of California\, Los Angeles’ Chicano Studies Research Center\, he taught courses in Chicano/a Studies\, Ethnic Studies\, Immigration and Labor for nine years in the Department of Comparative Ethnic Studies at Washington State University. \nDr. Alamillo’s research focuses on the ways Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans have used culture\, leisure\, and sports to build community and social networks to advance politically and economically in the United States. His family’s experiences in the lemon industry inspired his first book\, “Making Lemonade out of Lemons: Mexican American Labor and Leisure in a California Town\, 1900-1960” (University of Illinois Press\, 2006) He co-authored the first textbook on Latinos in Sport titled “Latinos in U.S Sport: A History of Isolation\, Cultural Identity\, and Acceptance” (Human Kinetics\, 2011). He recently published\, “Deportes: The Making of a Sporting Mexican Diaspora” (Rutgers University Press\, 2020). He has also worked closely with students and community groups in oral history projects and museum exhibitions and seeks to build bridges between CSUCI and surrounding Latino/a communities. He worked with with ¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues / En los barrios y las grandes ligas\, a bilingual exhibition at Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History which opened in Washington D.C. on October 9\, 2020. \n¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues / En los barrios y las grandes ligas is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the National Museum of American History. This exhibition received generous support from the Cordoba Corporation and Linda Alvarado\, and federal support from the Latino Initiatives Pool\, administered by the Smithsonian Latino Center. \nRegister for this lecture\n\n \n \n \n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://parkcityhistory.org/event/20204/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/15.3-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20221011T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20221011T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T122143 CREATED:20220510T190308Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220926T204642Z UID:10000359-1665507600-1665511200@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:The Maya and Teotihuacan: Art\, Ritual\, and a Pre-Columbian Mystery lecture given by Lexy Hartford DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum will host a lecture called The Maya and Teotihuacan: Art\, Ritual\, and a Pre-Columbian Mystery given by Lexy Hartford on October 11th from 5-6 p.m. at the Park City Museum Education and Collections Center Building located at 2079 Sidewinder Drive. Please register for the lecture at www.parkcityhistory.org/events. \nTeotihuacan (1-550 AD)\, located in Central Mexico\, was the largest urban center in Mesoamerica prior to the Aztec. Because of its monumental pyramids\, perfectly aligned grid layout\, and thousands of “apartment complexes\,” the Aztec referred to the site as the “City of the Gods.” Despite not knowing whether Teotihuacan was governed by kings or community rule\, evidence from the site suggests that Teotihuacan’s enormous power and influence extended all the way into Honduras. But to what extent did Teotihuacan control the great kings and queens of the Maya? Through a look at elaborate ritual practices\, human sacrifices\, Maya texts alluding to mysterious deaths and possibly murders\, and recently discovered 2000-year-old murals\, this lecture will examine the current state of this mystery. \nLexy is the Museum Assistant at the Park City Museum and has previously worked at Pecos National Historical Park and the Museum of International Folk Art in New Mexico\, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology in Boston\, and the Horniman Museum and Gardens\, Courtauld Institute of Art\, and Whitehall Historic House in London. She holds master’s degrees in both museum studies and archaeology from University College London in the UK and Harvard University\, respectively. Lexy has led archaeological excavations at Cahokia Mounds\, Harvard University\, Copan\, Honduras\, and Teotihuacan\, Mexico\, where she was part of the team that discovered the 2000-year-old murals. \nRegister for this lecture\n\n \n \n \n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://parkcityhistory.org/event/the-maya-and-teotihuacan-art-ritual-and-a-pre-columbian-mystery-lecture-given-by-lexy-hartford/ CATEGORIES:Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Lexy-picture-lecture-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20221005T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20221005T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T122143 CREATED:20220607T222113Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221005T202123Z UID:10000585-1664989200-1664992800@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:Park City and Kennecott—Post-Mining Land Use at Two Historic Sites in Utah in-person lecture given by Donovan Symonds\, Amy J. Richins\, and Michael G. Nelson DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum and Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History will host an in-person lecture called Park City and Kennecott—Post-Mining Land Use at Two Historic Sites in Utah given by Donovan Symonds\, Amy J. Richins\, and Michael G. Nelson on Wednesday\, October 5th from 5-6 p.m. at the EDUCATION AND COLLECTIONS CENTER 2079 SIDEWINDER DRIVE. Please register for the lecture at www.parkcityhistory.org/events. \nMining at two locations in Utah have resulted in vastly different post-mining land use. Copper ore was discovered in Bingham Canyon in 1848. Mining of placer deposits began in 1863\, and high-grade porphyry ore in 1887. Low-grade porphyry copper was not mined until D.C. Jackling started open-pit mining with steam shovels and rail haulage in 1906. The Bingham Canyon mine is still operating\, at about 200\,000 short tons of ore daily. High-grade silver ore was discovered near Park City in 1872. The district produced complex ores containing lead\, zinc\, copper\, gold\, and silver. Production slowed in the early 1950s\, and the last mine closed in 1982. Post-mining land use in these two sites varies markedly. Bingham Canyon is an active mine\, with large waste dumps\, a mill\, a tailings pond\, and a smelter. Still\, several areas are undergoing active redevelopment. Park City is now a high-end ski resort town with million-dollar residences. It also has a legacy of post-mining land use challenges\, including deteriorating head frames and shafts\, malls and houses built on un-reclaimed tailings\, and more. This presentation describes some of the activities of in both areas. \nRegister for this lecture\n\n \n \n \n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://parkcityhistory.org/event/park-city-and-kennecott-post-mining-land-use-at-two-historic-sites-in-utah-in-person-lecture-given-by-donovan-symonds-amy-j-richins-and-michael-g-nelson/ CATEGORIES:Friends of Ski Mining Mountain History,Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Mountains-Color-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20221001 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20221002 DTSTAMP:20260403T122143 CREATED:20220817T232710Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220930T174938Z UID:10000694-1664582400-1664668799@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:Glenwood Cemetery Event with Reenactors-SOLD OUT BOTH MORNING AND AFTERNOON TOURS!
