DECEMBER UTAH HISTORY LECTURE SERIES Holiday Traditions & Community Celebrations in Early Utah
Dr. Lisa Olsen Tait will discuss how early Utah settlers celebrated the holidays together. Her presentation will include descriptions of traditions and engaging stories from the settlers' first years in Utah.
“The affection and camaraderie surrounding the early settlers in their humble homes was simple and heartfelt," said series sponsor Rebecca Champion. “The small communities that dotted Utah joined together to express their love for each other by sharing food, supporting those who were lonely or sick, and spreading cheer. The fact that the communities were small and relied on each other for encouragement and support was what made Utah flourish. I wish at this holiday season that our Utah communities can similarly come together in love and friendship.”
The Utah History Lecture Series is generously sponsored by Rebecca Marriott Champion. You can view the full speaker calendar here.
Dr. Tait is an historian for the LDS Church History Department. She earned a Ph.D. in American Literature and a graduate certificate in Women’s Studies from the University of Houston.
