More About The Smithsonian's The Way We Worked Exhibition
Work and the workplace have gone through enormous changes between the mid-19th century, when 60 percent of Americans made their living as farmers, and the late 20th century. A traveling exhibition,
The Way We Worked, will explore how work became such a central element in American culture by tracing the many changes that affected the workforce and work environments in that time. The exhibition draws from the National Archives' rich collections to tell the compelling story of American workers, who are the backbone of our society.
More About Ogden's Weber County Works Local Exhibition
Created by Union Station Foundation as a local companion to
The Way We Worked, this exhibition highlights stories from resilient and diverse members of the community who have worked in a range of local industries and professions. The exhibition will explore the interrelationships between the development of Weber County and the railroad, military, and modern industries of today. Look for stories, photographs, artifacts, and objects from people of different ethnicities, genders, and ages that illustrate the resilience and diverse nature of the local workforce over time.
Weber County Works was created by the Union Station Foundation and made possible by funding from
Weber County RAMP,
Utah Humanities, and the
Union Station Foundation.

Our Year-Long Celebration of the Pulitzer Prizes Centennial
Many thanks to our partners who helped us to celebrate the Pulitzer Prizes Centennial throughout 2016: the Salt Lake Tribune, KCPW, and Utah Public Radio!
As part of the year-long celebration, Utahns enjoyed events, conversations, and radio broadcasts centered on relevant topics featuring prize-winning journalists and authors.
The Pulitzer Prizes even covered one of Utah's celebratory events, A Pulitzer Party, that celebrated prize-winning fiction. Read the Pulitzer coverage here.
We have loved participating in this year-long celebration of the Pulitzer Prizes and we thank our partners for providing such engaging public events.
