In 1999, there was a great “Emigrant Trail” museum out in a cinderblock building north of the freeway. The docent had some great stories (including how the Donner Party kindly blazed a trail down Emigrant Canyon in Salt Lake City that saved the Mormons when they arrived a couple years later). I also learned the difference between cows, oxen, and bulls, and saw a wooden odometer used on a real emigrant wagon!
