Putting Your Main Street on the Map, regional preservation workshop - Panguitch

The Salt Lake Tribune has reported that the historic Garfield County Courthouse in Panguitch will under a rehabilitation that includes a seismic upgrade.  This is great news for Panguitch, an amazingly intact historic town, as well as the Wayne County region which has several small communities that attract visitors and new residents because of their aesthetic charm.  Roughly half of the historic county courthouses remain throughout Utah, so rehabilitation of the courthouse is good news that it will ensure it's presence and use for several more decades.

Thanks to all the members (over 40!) who attended this year's trip to Fish Lake Lodge and Wayne County.  We enjoyed an absolutely perfect cool summer day by Fish Lake, lunch catered by Sunglow in Bicknell while sitting under the trees at Robber's Roost in Torrey, and walks around Keith McKay's stone yard and quarry in Torrey.
