The Wasatch County Library, in collaboration with Utah Humanities, is proud to bring Crossroads: Change in Rural America, a Museum on Main Street exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service to the Heber Valley. Crossroads provokes fresh thinking and sparks conversations about the future and sustainability of rural communities. This exhibition offers an opportunity for communities to look at their own paths over the past century – to highlight the changes that affected their fortunes, explore how they have adapted, and think about what’s next.

A local companion exhibit, Celebrating our Homegrown Heritage: Past, Present, and Future, has been produced by a team of Wasatch High School students enrolled in the Center for Advanced Professional Studies (CAPS) program. This exhibit features audiovisual interviews with long-time residents of Wasatch County as well as newcomers and younger generations about life and change in Wasatch County.

Join us for the ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open the exhibits and kick off a series of public events that honor our roots and highlight our evolving homegrown heritage on Saturday, November 4, 2023, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Wasatch County Library, 465 E 1200 S, Heber City, Utah.
