Submit Your Family Pioneer History Stories! — Cotton Mission Chapter of Sons of Utah Pioneers

Welcome!

We have been "Honoring our Pioneer Forefathers in St. George and Washington City since 1933" — yes, for 92 years, with our chapter organized in its current form since 1989! We are one of 46 local chapter organizations and have been recognized annually with the "Chapter in Excellence" award.

Membership is open to sons (descendants) of Utah pioneers or to those men (and their wives) who just have an interest in promoting and honoring local pioneer heritage. We are actively engaged in Washington City Cotton Days, St. George City Dixie Days and local historical treks. We share pioneer histories and award approximately $15,000 dollars annually to local high school seniors and 2nd grade students.

You can also follow our Facebook page at Cotton Mission Chapter of Sons of Utah Pioneers. We would love to have you join us!

Brad Allen,
2025 Chapter President

A primary mission of SUP is to "preserve the memory and heritage of the early pioneers of the Utah Territory". So, we invite anyone who has a pioneer heritage connected to Southern Utah to submit your pioneer history story to be published on our Pioneer History page and shared with others!

How To Submit Your Pioneer History Story

Put your Pioneer History story into a text file, such as a Word document, .txt or .rtf file.
Assemble any related photos you would like to include (if any) and convert them to a digital image. If you have a scanner, this is pretty easy - but the easiest way may be to snap a picture of your photo with a digital camera or cell phone.
Submit your files below! That's it!
