The 450-acre park contains 60 historic buildings, including farmhouses, barns, saddleries, blacksmith shops, chapels, and stables that represent early Utah settlements.
The park commemorates the 1847 arrival of Mormon pioneers in Salt Lake Valley, where Brigham Young declared it their new settlement location.
