How did Utah’s roads evolve from wagon routes to roads built for automobiles—and how did those changes affect the small towns along the way?
Join historian and author Lisa Michele Church as she explores the fascinating story of Utah’s early roads and automobile travel. During the first twenty years of automobile use, Utah residents had to build their own roads, creating a unique chapter in the state’s transportation history.
Lisa’s historical work focuses on the American West, vernacular architecture, roads, and tourism. She is the author of Vintage Signs of Utah and several other books and publications exploring Utah history.
Come learn more about the roads that connected Utah’s communities and helped shape the state we know today.
Free and open to the public. No registration required. Handicap accessible.
Events supported by grants from the City of St. George RAP Tax, Utah Division of Arts & Museums, and Washington County RAP Tax.
