As summer begins to wind down, the McQuarrie Memorial Museum is looking ahead to an exciting new Daughters of Utah Pioneers year while continuing to welcome visitors from near and far.
Our August 2026 Muse News newsletter celebrates a busy July filled with museum tours, community outreach, and educational presentations, including hands-on pioneer demonstrations for visiting youth. Thank you to the many volunteers and docents whose time and dedication help preserve and share Southern Utah's pioneer heritage.

Updates on upcoming DUP officer training for Washington East, Washington West, and Washington Companies.
News about the Museum's participation as a Blue Star Museum, offering free admission to active-duty military personnel and veterans through September.
