the museum has some incredible artifacts and amazing stories. my favorite artifact was this beautiful grand piano that this woman treasured and half way through their journey across the plains her husband made her leave the piano on the side of the trail because it was to heavy for the wagon and making the oxen to tired. After going through ohio the husband realized that his wife was missing, he asked around and was told that she had stayed with her beloved piano. After getting the rest of the group to a ferrie , he returned to the trail, and found his wife sitting with her piano. they were able to get the piano to the salt lake valley, and it was the second piano to come across the plains and make it to salt lake. now, that is what i call a determine woman!
we weren't able to take pictures inside the museum, but afterwards we all went to our favorite little cafe for lunch.
