LEHI HISTORICAL MARKERS-Over the last year, the Lehi Historical Society has been putting up historical markers all over Lehi, each with brief historical context on some of the city’s most iconic and historic places.
“A lot of Lehi’s historic places are gone, but you can, with a marker, you can still tell what happened,” said Lara Bangerter, director of the Lehi Historical Society.
The most recent marker erected on March 18 was for the Jordan River Bridge or the “Old Iron Bridge” built in 1914 on Lehi’s west side. The marker is the seventh of 36 historical markers to be installed over the next three years through the Lehi Historical Marker Program.
The Lehi Historical Marker Program was founded in 2022. According to Bangerter, the markers are made possible through a Lehi PARC grant and a donation from HADCO Construction.
