As far as the nomination process goes, Bangerter said, “Make sure to seriously consider the questions of the nomination form. The better the information you supply, the more likely a person or couple will be chosen.” Members of the historical society consider the nominations and vote on the winners.

How honorees are celebrated, selected

More than 100 individuals have been honored

Every year since 2014, the Lehi Historical Society has honored a handful of Lehi. More than 100 individuals have been honored.

“It’s an honor to be chosen,” said Bangerter. “There are a lot of people who have done interesting and impressive things to make Lehi a better place. It’s not always easy to determine who we honor, but we love the opportunity to do it.”

John Knollin Haws, founder of the Lehi Historical Society, started Lehi Heritage Day with the goal of sharing Lehi’s past along with Lehi’s present-day history makers.
