I chose to go to the Pioneer Trail Center. It is always a fun place to go and they tell the story of the pioneers really well; Nauvoo to Salt Lake City. The part I like best is dressing everyone in pioneer clothes and getting a picture with the handcart.

I learned that the pioneer graves are mostly unmarked, but the headstones at the cemetery are from the local community after the Mormons had left. The large statue marks the area for the Mormon deaths. More than three hundred pioneers and as many as 600 are buried here.
