The Legacy Project · Free · Monthly
One free tribute a month, for someone history nearly forgot.
Every month we produce one complete tribute — researched, filmed, narrated, and published free, forever — for a historical or community figure. We're starting with Utah's pioneers.
Why it exists
"We believe every person who ever lived had a story worth telling. Every single one.
The schoolteacher. The midwife. The settler whose letters still sit in a drawer. The ones whose headstones stopped getting visitors a hundred years ago."
Most of them have no one left to commission a tribute. The Legacy Project is how we go back for them — one story at a time, at no cost to anyone.
What the honoree receives
The same tribute a family pays for. Free.
01
The research
Records, archives, photographs, and the people who still carry the memory — gathered into one story.
02
The film
A fully produced tribute, made with the same care a paying family receives. No shortcuts because it's free.
03
The address
Published at a permanent address, open to anyone, kept in three places — forever.
First chapter
Utah's pioneers, first.
They crossed an ocean and a continent on faith and handcarts, and built towns out of desert. Their names fill ledgers and headstones across the state — but most of their stories stayed in family lines that have since gone quiet.
Tribute № 001 will honor one of them. From there, the project goes wherever the nominations lead — any community, any era, anyone whose story deserved better than silence.
How nominations work
You bring the name. We bring everything else.
Step 01
Nominate
A name, and why their story matters. A few minutes is enough — we'll do the digging.
Step 02
We produce
Each month one nominee goes into full production: research, film, narration, page.
Step 03
The reveal
Every month, one finished tribute is revealed and published free — for everyone, for good.
Tribute № 001 · A Utah pioneer · Coming soon
Published tributes will live on this page, one each month. The archive starts with the first reveal.
