Mormon pioneers made a distinctive mark on the Intermountain West. You will move from primitive tools and log cabin homes to exquisite serving pieces and glassware carefully carried across ocean and plains to a new home in the arid West. Imagine building in wood with hand-augered holes and wooden pins. See the candle snuffers and stagecoach footwarmer. The school slates and stoves, the curious goods once common to daily life. Pioneer firearms will fascinate with tales of Johnston's army sent to quell the “Mormon Rebellion” in 1857.
