About Handcart Pioneer Monument
The Handcart Pioneer Monument is a tribute to the thousands of hardy Mormon pioneers who walked across the plains in the 1850s, pulling and pushing all their possessions in handmade, all-wood handcarts. While about 250 died, nearly 3,000 completed the 1,350 mile trek from Iowa City, Iowa.
