Mormon Trails Association (MTA)

OUTREACH

  • Exhibit — Opened “Pioneer Pathways to Zion, 1846-1890,” a new exhibit at the LDS Church History Museum in Salt Lake City, UT, after a year of work. It features 50 of the museum’s most treasured pioneer artifacts and reflects decades of research about the Mormon Pioneer NHT. Visitors can select real pioneer stories to follow along the trail, explore 3-D topographical maps and try their hand at a functional wagon roadometer.
  • Documentation — Created a comprehensive trail map on Google that provides the accurate location of the trail and trail variants.
