Celebrate one of Lehi's most iconic commercial landmarks with this beautifully detailed Racker Mercantile marker pin.
The site tells two remarkable stories of Lehi commerce. In 1868, it was home to the Lehi Union Exchange, a pioneering cooperative founded by Israel Evans and his father, David. The Exchange allowed residents to trade local produce for goods and became so successful that it helped inspire Zion's Cooperative Mercantile Institution (ZCMI), which influenced Utah's economy for generations.
In 1904, William E. Racker transformed the property into the elegant Racker Mercantile, combining adjoining buildings into the Renaissance Revival landmark that still stands today. Distinguished by its ornate lionhead medallions, decorative brickwork, and impressive storefronts, the building became home to generations of merchants and a centerpiece of downtown Lehi.
This collectible pin faithfully captures the architectural beauty of the historic building with exceptional craftsmanship. The design features extra fine hard enamel detailing paired with UV-printed architectural details, allowing the intricate brickwork, windows, and decorative elements to be reproduced with remarkable accuracy. The accompanying backing card features artwork inspired by the painting of Mary Ann Judd, used with permission.
