The Pioneer Memorial Museum was erected by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers and the State of Utah as a replica of the Salt Lake Theater and dedicated on July 23, 1950, as a hall to preserve the names, portraits, histories, manuscripts, relics, and other evidences of the wisdom, industry, and culture of nearly 86,000 immigrant pioneers who, from 1847 until 1869, crossed a thousand miles of wilderness with ox team, handcart, and on foot to find religious freedom and new homes in the Rocky Mountains.
