Happy Constitution Day!

James Madison wrote:
"Whilst the last members were signing, Doctor Franklin, looking towards the President's chair, at the back of which a rising sun happened to be painted, observed to a few members near him, that painters had found it difficult to distinguish in their art, a rising, from a setting, sun. I have, said he, often & often, in the course of the session, & the vicissitudes of my hopes & fears as to its issue, looked at that behind the President, without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting; but now at length, I have the happiness to know, that it is a rising, & not a setting sun."

This event is outside of the Valley, but it is well worth the drive! Take your families & learn history the fun way!

We can't think of a better way to celebrate America's 250th birthday than stepping back in time for a few hours.

George Washington. Abigail Adams. Revolutionary soldiers. Blacksmiths. Musicians. Cannons. A printing press. And a whole lot of stories.

Freedom's Light is coming to Bountiful September 17–19—and it's FREE. 🇺🇸

Final committee activities:

We celebrated the new mural on Center Street in Logan on Sept 11, 2026 with Mayor Mark Anderson, Lucky Slice Pizza, & artist Chuck Landvatter.

Rocky Mountain Veterans Center kindly presented us with certificates of recognition at their annual Heroes Tribute Banquet & at the Cache County Council Meeting. We are so grateful!

This year has been an incredible opportunity to remember America's beginnings. Now we look to the future.
