The Cache Valley Historical Society
The Cache Valley Historical Society (CVHS) is the oldest local chapter of the Utah State Historical Society. The CVHS began in 1951 and some of it's early members included Joel E. Ricks, Leonard Arrington, George Ellsworth, J. Duncan Brite, and Merlin Hovey. The organization is unique in the West in that it includes an area involving two states.

Historic Cache County Courthouse

CVHS board member and former Logan Ranger District Forest Service employee Scott Bushman will lead us on a pictorial road trip up Logan Canyon, starting at the mouth of the canyon and going until "we run out of gas." Mr. Bushman will host a discussion on places, people, and events that have made Logan Canyon special to the people of Cache Valley, Utah, and, as a National Scenic Byway, to the Nation. The audience is encouraged to bring their photos, their stories and their memories to share.
We will also be announcing our 2021 Historic Preservation Award recipients.
This event is free and open to the public.
