The Lehi Historical Society unveiled 11 historical markers, digitized hundreds of documents and hired a third part-time employee in 2026, according to the nonprofit's year-end report published by the Lehi Free Press.

Volunteers logged 4,107 hours in 2025, the most recent full reporting year cited in the recap. The organization also hosted between seven and 12 young service missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at any given time during the year.

Bangerter said in the report that what means the most to her is seeing people connect with Lehi history, "whether it's a child trading historical marker cards, a family hearing the story of an ancestor at an unveiling or someone discovering a photograph of a loved one in our archives."

The 11 markers bring the program's total to at least 23, according to a Sept. 28 Lehi Free Press article on the trading card program. The Lehi Historical Marker Program, founded in 2022 with support from the John David and Danaca Hadfield family of HADCO Construction and Lehi City PARC grants, is working toward 36 markers across the city.

The trading card program was another highlight. Cards featuring local historical sites went to thousands of fourth graders at 12 of Lehi's 13 elementary schools during the 2025–2026 school year. The program will continue in 2026–2027 after receiving additional PARC grant funding.

Beyond the markers and cards, the Society installed historical banners on Main Street, produced 23 collector pins and uploaded hundreds of photographs and historical items to its public online library.

Lehi Heritage Day, held Aug. 29 at the Lehi Civic Center, honored seven couples and individuals for notable service to the community. The event featured a Historical Marker Quest. Nicole Kunze, an event chairman and Society employee, said in the Sept. 3 Lehi Free Press recap that the quest helped the Society make "amazing new friends this summer."

The Society's 2026 sponsors included SIRQ Construction, Strata Networks, the Church History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Wolf Peak Construction.
