This is the Place Monument

We went to This is the Place Heritage park...it is a living history museum of how it was when the Pioneers came West.


"This is the Place" Monument, dedicated July 24, 1947, commemorates the arrival of the Mormon Pioneers into the valley of the Great Salt Lake 100 years before



At the pioneer cabin doing chores...Mikayla and Tristan washing clothes.


Playing pioneer games at the cabin...



Mariah, Tristan, Carter, Mikayla and Dillan

Pioneer School House...Mariah demonstrating how the children were punished if they misbehaved at school


Tristan and Mikayla writing on their slate boards at school


Panning for gold in the creek...their favorite activity. Then you took your gold to the bank to get your prize.


Mariah and Tristan riding the mini train. Tristan's favorite activity.
