Join us for an evening celebration of the Moab Museum community and the return of Col. Theodore Roosevelt to southeast Utah. Enjoy a buffet-style meal provided by Ken Moody, Moab Private Chef, the Teddy Roosevelt Show, and a live and silent auction hosted here in town.

In 1913, Roosevelt paid a visit to the Moab area as part of a sightseeing and hunting trip to the Grand Canyon and southern Utah. “Col. Theodore Roosevelt, his sons Archibald and Quentin, and his nephew, Nicholas Roosevelt, plan to pay a visit to the famous natural bridges of San Juan country early next month” (Times-Independent, July 18, 1913). 110 years later Col. Roosevelt reprised by Joe Wiegand, returns for the Moab Museum’s Annual Membership Gala.

We invite you to join us at the Annual Membership Gala and partner with us to make Museum programming, special events, and exhibitions possible. Community partners such as yourselves help us to introduce locals and traveling guests alike to our region’s cultural and natural history, and the big stories unfolding today across the region.
