The purpose of this museum to present a portion of the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Mormons, and the role they played in the early development of San Diego.

We were greeted by several friendly young women serving as missionaries who took us through the history of the Mormon Battalion and how they came to San Diego. The presentation was a little cheesy, but entertaining. Good historical exhibits, and a great location in Old Towne San Diego where you could walk to other sites. For kids, they even have... More

You get to experience what early settlers sacrificed and endured for us to reap the benefits today. Displays and story well done. We were glad we took the time to come here.

This is a sure thing to do. It was so well done. I won't give away any secrets about it but I guarantee you will enjoy it. Our guide was great and we came away with our 2 pieces of 'Gold' after panning for it ourselves!!!

History and high tech, this wonderful attraction gave us a taste life with the pioneers, and a sense of the high stakes encountered with the longest infantry march in US history. The docents knew it all, and the tour/presentation were top quality. Highly recommended.

Treat yourself to this gem in Old Town. Not anything like I expected. Such a great story told in a professional and interactive way. Take the kids and prepare to be amazed.

A creative way to enjoy history, the participant is "transported" back to the 1800's to travel with the Mormon Battalion as they crossed from the Midwest to the California shore. Interactive and fun for all ages. Tour guides are well versed and exceptionally friendly. No fee so go and enjoy!!

EXTREMELY well done, informative, genteel, and nothing pushy, I came away with a much better sense of Mormonism.. they are just like us! :) It's all... More

This attraction was free! A smiling guide found us taking a look at the exterior of the building and beckoned us to join the tour. You move from one room to another and are kind of part of the story, with the guides talking to the videos being played on photo frames and through windows. I know they didn't mean... More
