Preservation Utah

Our theme for LUGU this year is Jump for Preservation. Just like all those great photos of kids you see randomly jumping alone and in groups, we want to bring a fun, whimsical element to attracting attention to our mission. Besides, who doesn't love jumping!

Since 1966, Utah Heritage Foundation has worked to unite all Utahns to ensure that historic places thrive in a rapidly changing world. Utah’s historic architecture is as rich in diversity, style, form, and function as the topography by which it has been influenced. We’ve implemented tools for protection, advocated for financial incentives, restored iconic historic structures, and educated the next generation of preservation stewards. Beyond the aesthetic value of historic structures, we tell the stories behind what makes Utah’s historic places significant and relevant to us all today and into the future.

In 2016 we rebranded as Preservation Utah, as a strategic repositioning of the organization, to better communicate our true role as advocates. Our mission is to keep the past alive, not only for preservation, but to inspire and provoke a more creative present and sustainable future.

It’s a great privilege to work with you to preserve Utah’s historic places for the enjoyment and benefit of all people. We are thrilled about what we’re creating together – a powerful force for education and advocacy to protect the places we love so much. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we appreciate your support!
