SUMMARY:Buffalo Soldiers Heritage Trail | Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:The history of the Buffalo Soldiers is one of resilience\, achievement\, and lasting contribution to the United States. Beginning shortly after the Civil War\, the story of the Buffalo Soldiers follows the country's westward expansion\; the struggle for racial equality\; relationships and conflicts with Native Americans and non-native settlers\; and perseverance. The Buffalo Soldier Heritage Trail links together all the unique pieces of this story and connects it to the places where it all happened.\nMoab has a distinct and local connection to the Buffalo Soldiers via the 9th Cavalry. The 9th Cavalry’s first expedition into Utah Territory took place in the fall of 1878\, when Troop K\, led by 2nd Lieutenant Ballard S. Humphrey\, departed from Animas City\, Colorado. They entered Utah south of Moab\, traveled along the Old Spanish Trail through Spanish Valley\, moved north to the southern base of the Book Cliffs\, and then returned east to Fort Garland\, Colorado.\nDuring their 12-week patrol\, the 9th Cavalry scouted for Ute Tribal members in and around the Abajo Mountains while extensively exploring eastern Utah. Their route was recorded in remarkable detail\, documenting campsites\, geographical landmarks\, and even man-made structures along the way. Notable locations included Kane Springs\, a critical water source along the Old Spanish Trail\, and the “Old Mormon Fort” at Elk Mountain Mission in present-day Moab.\n\nThe exhibition is FREE all day and will be followed by a private opening available to current members and donors of the Museum\, which kicks off at 5:30pm.\nAbout the Semiquincentennial:\nThe semiquincentennial is a chance for everyone to feel a part of this major milestone in our nation. We can celebrate courage\, liberty\, and sacrifice\, while also reckoning with difficult truths. By fostering a sense of belonging and coming together with our local communities\, we can ensure that Utahns of all ages and backgrounds see themselves in American history.\nNext up: How Did We Get Here: Stories of Migration and Home Community Exhibition: October 22nd\, 2026
