24 UTAH STATE HOLIDAY - PIONEER DAY
On this day, Utahns celebrate the pioneers’ settling in Salt Lake.
In 1847, a group of Mormon pioneers, led by Brigham Young,
headed out on a journey across the land with covered wagons and
handcarts, determined to make a life in the west. They began the
journey because they were suffering religious persecution where
they were living in Nauvoo, Illinois. It is said that as Brigham Young
gazed out on the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847, he proclaimed
“This is the Place”.
