Murray Museum reopens in the historic John P. Cahoon Mansion
MURRAY, Utah () — Murray City reopened the Murray Museum in the historic John P. Cahoon Mansion Friday. The museum debut is part of the city's '' campaign, which aims to celebrate the town's history, culture, and events. On Apr. 25, 2025, the museum received the Rehabilitation & Restoration Award from Preservation Utah, Murray City said. The Murray City Museum is reimagined, and opening this week 'This museum tells the stories of who we are, from our pioneering roots to the incredible community we've become,' said Murray Mayor Brett A. Hales. Built in 1899, the Cahoon Mansion has worn many hats over the years. The previous owners, Bill and Susan Wright, used the historic building as a reception center for decades. 'It [was] heart-wrenching to leave it,' Susan Wright told ABC4's Craig Wirth shortly after she and Bill sold the mansion in 2015. Along with the museum's grand reopening, Murray City is also hosting a community block party across the street at Murray City Hall on May 2 from 3 p.m. – 7 p.m. The event will bring live music, performances, food trucks, and local vendors.
