After our luncheon and monthly club meeting we will line up our Miatas outside of Jim’s on the west side and head out to Utah Valley University’s Fulton Library in Orem. See driving instructions below the maps at bottom of this article.  We will turn right at the stoplight by Jim’s and go south to Bangerter Hwy. and head eastbound to I-15. The “Roots of Knowledge” exhibit is in the Bingham Gallery on the first floor of UVU’s Fulton Library at the UVU Campus in Orem.  We had visited this exhibit once before, in February 2019…those of us that went really enjoyed the experience.  The story of humanity from the beginning to the unforeseen future is depicted in beautiful stained-glass panes, and I had never seen anything quite like this before here in Utah.

​

Driving Route to Fulton Library and Parking:   As mentioned above, we will turn right on Redwood Rd. and follow Bangerter Hwy. to I-15, and turn right (south) on the freeway traveling south approx. 25 miles to exit 271 (about 27 min). Take the University Parkway exit left towards Orem (1200 S.). Stay in left lane and turn at 1st left to College Dr. Go right at roundabout, follow College Dr. to Library.  Parking lot south of library and additional parking west of library. There is plenty of parking since it is a Saturday in the student and employee parking lots.

​

A “Roots of Knowledge” representative will meet us at the Fulton Library to tell us all about the exhibit. There will even be a scavenger hunt for those that would like to participate. This event is FREE to attend.
