Is preserving your heritage your passion?

Volunteer participation within the Utah Heritage Foundation is a strong and vital tradition. Volunteers provide an important link to our community and assist in fostering greater awareness of our historic architectural environment. Volunteers expand their knowledge of architecture and learn more about the benefits of renovation and restoration of our historic landmarks in addition to developing new friendships. We provide educational training for all volunteer opportunities.

Past programs include Special Collections from the University of Utah’s Marriott Library; Utah’s architectural folklore; Utah Gold Star Mothers; history of Utah Woolen Mills; a tour of Sugarhouse landmark buildings in jeopardy; and a tour of the Salt Lake County Art Collection.
