Salt Lake City, UT – Gwendolyn Wright says that history isn't about answers; it's about investigation and evidence and personal stories. Wright is one of the hosts of the public television series "History Detectives," and the author of a new book on American architecture. She'll be in Salt Lake this weekend for the Utah State History Conference - and today she joins Doug to talk about history, architecture and what objects can tell us about the world we share.

  • This Thursday, September 11th, Gwendolyn Wright will be the Keynote Speaker for the 56th Annual Utah State History Conference. The event is at the Salt Lake City Library and begins at 6:30 p.m. The conference continues through Saturday. For more information on these free events, call 801-533-3500 or click here
