It's finally time! Dr. Martha Hughes Cannon’s statue has been waiting to represent Utah in the U.S. Capitol since 2020, and the date has finally been set for her installation in the National Statuary Hall Collection. Join us to send her off in style at the State Capitol with a festival full of music, food trucks, and activities for the whole family!

A short program at 7:30 pm will officially send Martha off on her journey to DC.

As a doctor, suffragist, public health advocate, and the nation’s first female state senator, Martha Hughes Cannon left a lasting impact on our state. During her time in office, she revolutionized Utah's public health system, testified before Congress in favor of a national suffrage amendment, and helped shape our community during the early years of statehood.

Please join us to celebrate Martha's pioneering contributions and her enduring legacy of leadership!

We’re grateful for the support of the Utah Historical Society to make this event possible.
