Lehi families have until Saturday, August 29, to hunt for history. The Lehi Historical Society launched the Historical Marker Quest in July, a free, self-guided scavenger hunt that sends participants to 21 large markers scattered across the city, each commemorating a person, place, or event from Lehi's past.

The setup is simple: pick up a free passport at the society's office at 99 W. Main St., Suite 100, open Tuesday through Thursday from noon to 5 p.m. Visit a marker, snap a photo in front of it, bring the photo back to the office, and collect a stamp. Hit all 21 and earn a collector lapel pin.

Aubrey Passey found 10 of the 21 markers in a single weekend outing with her father shortly after the quest began.

"It's a great way to learn about the history of a city outside of the traditional ways of learning like books and the internet," Passey said. "You might learn something you've never even heard about."

The quest builds on a marker program the society has been rolling out since early 2026. Documented unveilings include the Relief Society Hall at 212 W. Main St. on Saturday, March 21; the Christian Knudsen Home at 123 S. Center St. on Thursday, April 16; Carter Airport at 600 East and Airport Drive on Saturday, May 2; and the Lehi Tabernacle at 200 N. Center St. on Saturday, May 16, according to Lehi city newsletters.

Lara Bangerter, director of the Lehi Historical Society, said the quest gives families a reason to spend time together exploring the community and discovering the history around them.

The whole effort wraps up at Lehi Heritage Day on Saturday, August 29, at the Lehi Civic Center, located at 200 North and 100 West. Participants who bring their passports will receive raffle tickets based on how many stamps they've collected. Rather than one grand-prize drawing, participants choose which prize pools to enter by dropping tickets into the drawings that interest them.

Heritage Day will also feature historical exhibits, the Heritage Day Honoree Celebration, a classic car and bike show, food trucks, and other family activities, according to the Lehi Free Press.

Passports are free while supplies last. More information is available at lehihistory.org or by calling 801-768-1570.
