    Demolished Salt Lake Podcast is now Demolished Places Podcast!

    We’re venturing outside of Salt Lake to include all of Utah.

    This gives us the opportunity to bring you even more stories about lost buildings, places and peoples. We’re also expanding our discussions to include more about historic preservation and its importance to our sense of place, collective memories and wellbeing. Episodes will alternate between storytelling and interviews with local and national experts. We’ve been working on this for some time and are excited to finally bring it to fruition. Come along on this new path with us! It’s sure to be a great ride!

    If you already subscribe to the podcast, you don’t need to

    do a thing. You’ll get new episodes right to your podcast app as usual. Look for a new Demolished Places episode to drop soon!

  • Episode 26: Preserving Historic Murray with the Historic Murray First Foundation

    A conversation about preserving historic Murray with Rachel Morot, Vice President of the Historic First Murray Foundation.

    Correction:

    In the episode when discussion the underground railroad in North Carolina, Rachel stated that the Amish were abolitionists in the area. She misspoke and instead meant to say the Quakers were abolitionists in the area.
