Mormon Trail Center

It was a rainy Saturday and we decided to visit the Mormon Trail Center.
It is located right next to the Winter's Quarters Temple and cemetery.

The Visitor's Center was fun and very interactive. A great place to visit with your family. It helped me appreciate even more the sacrifices of the pioneers.


There is a nice statue of a family pulling a handcart right in front of the center.


 They have pioneer clothing you can dress up in.


 Little Bird wants something to eat.


 Little Bird looks cute in her little bonnet and skirt.


Lizard insisted we all participate. The only thing that fit her dad was a hat.


 Lizard ran into a friend from school and together they "loaded" a wagon and tried pushing a handcart. The handcart was easy to push along the carpet, but when rocks were placed under the wheels in was much more difficult. They had to really work together.




Little Bird was having fun running in the rain.
