2009 Summer Excursion
We are delighted to invite you to a terrific Utah Academy Excursion on Friday, June 5th. This year we will tour the Utah State Capitol in the morning and the Utah Governor’s Mansion in the afternoon; both buildings have recently undergone extensive restoration and reflect a fascinating review of our state’s history, economy, culture and politics. On Friday morning we will begin with a presentation on the history and restoration, then State Representative Becky Lockhart will conduct our Capitol tour, taking us into areas not usually accessible to the general public. We’ll enjoy lunch (included), then in the afternoon we will have a special tour of the Governor’s Mansion. Members of the architectural committee and the Utah State Historical Society will enrich our understanding. We welcome all Utah Academy members and families (mature teenagers or older). The cost is $12 per person to help defray the luncheon expense. The deadline for sign-up is June 1st (we need a count for lunch). This promises to be an informative and memorable tour of two Utah heritage icons. The details are:
What: UA tour of the Utah State Capitol and Governor’s Mansion
When: June 5, 2009, 9:30 am
Where: Meet at the State Capitol Lower East Side doors (9:30 am)
