Crossroads: Change in Rural America Exhibition Grand Opening

Come help us celebrate the launch of the Utah tour of Crossroads and the opening venue in North Summit County! Join us for welcoming remarks, a screening of local youth media projects, and a lecture with historian Greg Smoak (University of Utah), who will discuss the tension between ideals and realities of life in rural Utah as change – past and present – affects its communities.

Crossroads: Change in Rural America is a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum on Main Street program that provokes fresh thinking and sparks conversations about the future and sustainability of rural communities. Crossroads offers small towns a chance to look at their own paths over the past century – to highlight changes that affected their fortunes, explore how they have adapted, and think about what’s next.

Crossroads: Change in Rural America, is a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and Utah Humanities, touring in partnership with North Summit Unite and Summit County History Department. For more information, see www.utahhumanities.org and www.northsummitunite.org
