Commission plans to use county channels, partnerships and local content to boost historic storytelling
Summary
Members proposed leveraging Summit County’s existing social channels for historical posts, partnering with Preservation Utah and local history groups for presentations, and piloting an Instagram presence with volunteer content; Ryan Stack offered to help source photos and content.
Commissioners said outreach and education should be a central workstream. They recommended starting by contributing historical content to Summit County’s established social channels and, if demand and engagement justify it, creating a dedicated history tab or account later. Commissioner Ryan Stack volunteered to gather photographs and content for posts.
Members recommended inviting partner organizations (Preservation Utah, local history groups) to provide guest presentations and suggested community programs such as history walks, speaker series and a possible home-tour program once the commission’s inventory and designation process advance. The group agreed to test posts on the county account and to schedule speakers to familiarize commissioners with best practices and funding mechanisms.
