You can exchange modern currency for the currency of the 1800's at the
Hooper and Eldredge Bank and spend it at the ZCMI Country Store or
Gabriel's Restaurant (of course both shops will also gladly accept
modern currency). Do like we did and sit a spell at the Huntsman Hotel
or Ice Cream Saloon where you can enjoy a delicious lunch or a delicious
ice cream treat. |

Most of the children and adults enjoy going to the Adobe Brick Maker to
learn how Utah's pioneers made sturdy bricks out of the native materials
they had on hand. You may even learn something at the Heber East Ward
School. As a student, you'll be introduced to the Deseret Alphabet and
participate in children's games at recess. |

The costumes are for the
time period and all the actors
did a fantastic job. They are not paid but volunteers. Some whole
families volunteer. |

As you visit various Pioneer Homes, you'll get an intimate view of
day-to-day pioneer living. Daily chores - cooking, sewing, cleaning,
spinning, weaving and dye making, to name a few -- are carried out in
true pioneer style, with everyone pitching in and doing their share. If
you're not careful, you may find yourself on the business end of a
broom! |

Some other places I didn't get photos of are The Deseret News where you
can see actual printing equipment used to publish the first weekly
newspaper in the Utah Territory. Other sites include the Cabinet and
Furniture Shop, Godbe Pitts & Company Drug Store, the Old Social
Hall, Manti Fort Gristmill, the Blacksmith Shop, and of course, the Old
Sugar Factory Visitor Center where you will find a Gifts and Book Shop,
Snack Bar, the mural room, and a film which portrays the greatest
overland trek in American History. |
