In-Person Event: Self-guided Tour of Pioneer Memorial Museum

The Pioneer Memorial Museum is noted as the world's largest collection of artifacts on one particular subject and features displays and collections of memorabilia from the time the earliest settlers entered the Valley of the Great Salt Lake on July 24, 1847 until the joining of the railroads at a location known as Promontory Point, Utah, on May 10, 1869. The International Society Daughters of Utah Pioneers, founded in 1901, is actively working to preserve the history and artifacts of its Pioneer ancestors. As you enter the Pioneer Memorial Museum, you walk back into history. Here are the belongings of a hardy pioneer people who migrated 2,000 miles west across the plains from Nauvoo, Illinois, and from all parts of the world to seek religious freedom and to build a great city in the Salt Lake Valley and surrounding areas. In this self-guided tour, each Osher member will be given a map of the museum and will be free to explore at their own pace.
