The Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area congratulates Friends of Historic Spring City on receiving Preservation Utah’s 2026 Heritage Organization award.
Our work together has included preservation of the 1899 Spring City Public School. We reported on the restoration in 2004, while it was still underway. Returning the building to use “required more than forty years of sustained effort.” It opened as a community center in 2017.
Preservation Utah writes that the Friends “is not an institution operating alongside Spring City; it is woven into the fabric of how the town understands and governs itself.” The award honors “more than four decades of sustained, community-rooted work that has maintained the historic character of the best-preserved 19th-century Mormon village settlement in Utah.”
