2025 at the McQuarrie Memorial Pioneer Museum: A Year of Community Impact

As we reflect on 2025, we are deeply grateful for the community that continues to support and sustain the DUP McQuarrie Memorial Museum. This past year was filled with meaningful connections, learning opportunities, and service—made possible through dedicated volunteers and generous visitors.

Because of you, the museum remained a welcoming place to explore pioneer history, share stories, and bring our past to life.

2025 by the Numbers

• 9 free community programs welcomed 240 attendees, offering opportunities to learn, connect, and preserve local history

• 8,500 visitors walked through our museum doors

• 30 guided tours engaged 895 guests of all ages

• Over 7,000 volunteer hours were generously given by docents, staff, and board members

Every hour volunteered, every visit, and every purchase from the Gift Shoppe helps ensure that pioneer history in Southern Utah is preserved and shared for future generations.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our volunteers, supporters, and community partners. Your generosity makes free admission, educational programs, and preservation efforts possible.

As we look ahead, we invite you to continue being part of the museum’s story—by visiting, volunteering, attending events, or supporting the museum in ways meaningful to you.

Thank you for making 2025 a remarkable year.
