Structure & Storage: A Behind-the-Scenes Preservation Tour of Ogden Union Station

We will examine the physical preservation of the station itself, exploring how to manage a historic building's unique needs while keeping its original character. We will also look at how the museum adapts to the​ space to safely store and care for its artifacts.

Attendees will see firsthand how to navigate decision-making regarding the historic buildings and collections they steward. Whether you are a museum professional or manage a historic property, you will gain insight into practical solutions for long-term preservation. Attendees will also have access to the museum’s galleries after the tour. 

Please Note: This is a 2-hour walking and standing tour. Participants must be able to navigate multiple flights of stairs and enter confined spaces. Some areas are not climate-controlled and may be hot; please dress comfortably and plan accordingly.
