Join the Mildred Berryman Institute for a free guided walking tour exploring the rich, complex, and often hidden history of LGBTQ+ life in downtown Salt Lake City. From once-clandestine gathering places to sites of protest, joy, and resilience, this tour invites participants to see familiar streets with new eyes. Claim your spot on the tour through Eventbrite! Only 20 spots available.
Led by historian and Institute co-founder Randell Hoffman, the tour will highlight key moments, figures, and locations in Utah’s queer past, drawing from extensive community-based research.
This event is part of the Mildred Berryman Institute’s LGBTQ+ History Month celebrations and serves as a fundraising opportunity to support our mission of preserving and sharing Utah’s LGBTIQ+ history. While the tour is free to attend, we encourage participants to donate what they can to help fund our public programs, research initiatives, and educational outreach. Space is limited!
Starting Location: Memory Grove
Ending Location: City and County Building, Washington Square
Duration: Less than three miles and under three hours. Expect to be done by 1pm.
Accessibility: Please be aware that this tour ascends from Memory Grove to Capitol Hill, then descends into downtown Salt Lake City. The first few stops include a steep incline while the rest of the tour, while it is downtown, is relatively flat.
Help us celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month, build community, and support queer historical storytelling one step at a time.
