I am fascinated by old newspapers of Utah. Did you know that the Deseret News archives is online, and you can browse old news articles as far back as June 15th 1850?! That's even before Utah was a State in the United States Of America!
Here are a few interesting and fun articles I found about Utah. Browse through the archives, type in a few key words, and let me know what cool articles you find!
