This cemetery is a humbling reminder of a people who were driven to search for a place to live in religious freedom. The LDS temple and visitor center that surround this site are very well taken care of and enjoyable to walk around and visit. Such a nice little refuge in a not so nice part of town. The plaques...

Visiting this cemetery and the visitors center, across the street, was a wonderful addition to our summer adventure. This was one of 2 historic Latter-day Saint sights we visited this summer and it was both educational and spiritual. To sit and ponder what these pioneers endured, is humbling.

A unique look at history with a sobering view of what life and death must have been like back then...But a very nice memorial to those who suffered during that time period. Very peaceful area with unique headstones and statues.

We didn't come to town for this but we got directions from the desk at our hotel (Holiday Inn Express, Cherry Hills). It is a nice place to visit and learn about some history.

The Cemetery and the Trail Center do a wonderful job of letting you experience and understand the mormon migration west. It is very informational and a great places for kids. Lots of hands on exhibits. Good teaching of what it was like to be a pioneer.

Spend the day visiting the Visitor's Center. Enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very helpful... answered many questions. You should really visit.

Beautiful little pioneer cemetery, with interesting stones and very impressive large memorial sculpture. Contains the graves of people who died during the winter of 1846-1847. Across the street is an extensive museum dedicated to the Mormon pioneers. The displays are excellent and the staff very helpful. Located in the Omaha suburb of Florence, a formerly independent town built on the... More
