From 1847-1869, over three
hundred companies of
immigrants, refugees, and
travelers of all ages trekked
over eleven hundred miles
across the vast American Plains
to the Salt Lake Valley. Included
among these courageous
pioneers were children who
faithfully followed their families,
despite the uncertainty of their
futures. This memorial stands
as a tribute to those brave
pioneer children, ages 0-17 who
died on their journey, including
others whose names have been
lost or remain unknown...Erected by This Is The Place Foundation; Days of ’47 Inc.
