Rory Murphy & John Kenworthy — Park City, Utah "Historic preservation is not only a huge economic driver, it differentiates us...adds to our uniqueness and authenticity," Kenworthy said. "It defines us as a community," Murphy added. (Tanzi Propst/Park Record)

Tracey Marshall — Park City, Utah "It's how Park City started. We wouldn't be here without it." (Tanzi Propst/Park Record)

Jack Thomas — Park City, Utah "We wouldn't be here without it. My great-grandfather was a miner. He came from Scotland to work here in the mines. Mining is really part of our story [here in Park City] and part of who were are. If we don't know where we've been or who we are, how do we know where we're going?" (Tanzi Propst/Park Record)

Sally Elliott — Park City, Utah "The mining structures on the mountains make Park City and Deer Valley very unique, in addition to the best snow on earth." (Tanzi Propst/Park Record)

Carolyn Hedderly-Smith — Park City, Utah "Well, my husband's a geologist, so we love mining towns. It has some great character and beautiful architecture." (Tanzi Propst/Park Record)
