Hello, history enthusiasts and community members!


We are thrilled to announce a special event in collaboration with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the American Legion Baker-Merrill Post. On August 3rd, 2024, we invite you to join us for a day of meaningful activities at Aultorest Memorial Park as we honor Union Civil War Soldiers.


Gravestone Preservation Workshop


Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM


Location: Aultorest Memorial Park, 836 36th St. Ogden, Utah


Our morning will begin with a Gravestone Preservation Workshop, where you'll have the unique opportunity to help restore the headstones of Union Civil War Soldiers. This hands-on experience will not only teach you valuable preservation techniques but also allow you to contribute to the upkeep of our community's historical sites.


Salute to Civil War Veterans

Following the workshop, join us for a poignant evening ceremony. The American Legion Honor Guard will provide a full service as we read the names of the soldiers and honor their service.
