The Mormon Trail Center, Omaha

After the zoo, we made a stop at The Mormon Trail Center, which honors the westward migration of the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was moving to remember the sacrifice, love, and sheer tenacity of the early saints who traveled west through virtually unknown territory.

Pulling a handcart.
Many of the saints were so poor that they had to pull handcarts, instead of having oxen to pull a wagon.
