Saturday, May 9th: Snacks and Stories – Buffalo Soldiers Presentation
Come and learn more about Utah history as we discuss the Buffalo Soldiers and introduce an exhibit here at the Fremont Indian State Park Museum. Robert Burch will be telling a little about their story and the work that has been put in preserving their history. The presentation will be held in the gallery at the Museum and will start at 10am.
“No matter how distant historical events may seem, their impact on the modern world shows up in fascinating ways. Such is the case of the Buffalo Soldiers — the first U.S. Army regiments composed exclusively of African American soldiers.
Established by Congress in 1866, the regiments were to help support the nation’s westward expansion. The nickname “Buffalo Soldiers” was likely given by the Native American tribes they faced in battle. Among the military units were the 9th cavalry and 24th infantry, stationed in Utah to protect settlers in the Uinta Basin. And their contributions extended beyond military service; they established trails and roads that are now well-known interstates used by travelers across Utah.
Their legacy is particularly strong in areas like Helper and Price, where they built infrastructure and patrolled roads. And now their legacy stands to gain even more recognition thanks to the Utah Buffalo Soldier Heritage Trail project.”
