The Salt Lake City Social Hall was the center of the community's social and cultural activities for a decade. It symbolized the pioneers' desire for education and refinement despite the pressing demands for physical survival.
The Social Hall research report (1977) was created by John M. Bourne, a Pioneer State Park historian. It describes the construction and use of the old Social Hall in Salt Lake City, Utah, which was demolished in 1922. A replica of the building was erected at the Pioneer Trail State Park in Salt Lake City in 1979. Also included are a program for the ground breaking ceremonies for the replica and photocopied documents and clippings used in research.
