HISTORICAL

Continuing the Journey:
Japanese American Pioneers in Box Elder County

While creating the exhibit, Uncovering the Journey, the Brigham City Museum received so many photos and family histories that we couldn’t fit everything into the exhibit. To try to share the first full history of the Japanese American community in Box Elder County, we needed to leave out a lot of words that would have captured more depth and complexity of the lives and events covered here. But this exhibit is the beginning of the journey, not the end. By compiling these on our website, along with oral histories and information already available from the museum, we are fulfilling the promise to build a permanent Japanese American history collection.

EDUCATION

Guides

Teachers and Learners! We’ve created comprehensive guides in collaboration with our exhibits to help you connect your classroom with the exhibition.  These resources can be used to prepare your students before your visit or to foster engaging discussions during and after the experience.  Additionally,  the museum offers a printed student guide and/or scavenger hunt for all visitors.

Brigham City

History Project

Mayor Dennis Fife started this project as a way to fill the gaps in the books on the history of Brigham City. Prior books have been good attempts at recording the basics of local history. But in most cases, they have lacked citations, and sometimes have included less than historical histories. They also have a tendency to peter out around 1900, as if nothing historical could possibly have happened since then.
