EXHIBITION | First Ladies

The role of the first lady is unique and has a rich history. "First Ladies" showcases this beloved local collection of 43 dolls depicting first ladies of the White House handcrafted in the Basin for the 1976 Bicentennial. For America's Semiquincentennial, come learn about the history of each first lady and the local women who donated their time and resources to the Bicentennial project. So many impressive women! This exhibit accompanies "Voices & Votes: Democracy in America," a Smithsonian exhibition that explores the action, reaction, vision, and revision that democracy demands as Americans continue to question how to shape our country. "Voices & Votes: Democracy in America" is made possible in Utah by Utah Humanities and local venues around the state. Voices & Votes is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and State Humanities Councils nationwide. It is based on an exhibition by the National Museum of American History. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United States Congress. Visit both exhibitions in Vernal from August 15 to October 17, 2026 and learn how Utah connects to this national story through local companion exhibits and public programming.
