February 24, 2026 - The Wasatch County Library is proud to announce the launch of the Wasatch History Speaker Series, a six-part community lecture program created as part of the nationwide celebration marking the 250th anniversary of the United States. This series invites residents to explore the stories, heritage, geography, and people that helped shape Wasatch County and the surrounding region.
This history series will feature three speakers this spring and three in the fall, all hosted at Wasatch County Library and led by local residents and subject-matter experts.

America250 offers a unique moment for reflection, not only to honor our national story but also celebrate the local histories that give each community its identity. This series is designed to create a space where residents can connect with the past and bring meaningful stories forward.

The Wasatch County Library History Series reflects the library’s ongoing commitment to education, community engagement, preservation of local history, and support to lifelong learning. All events in this speaker series are free and open to the public, with seating available on a first‐come basis.
