Daughters of Utah Pioneer Museum
The International Society Daughters of Utah Pioneers (ISDUP, DUP) is a group of women committed to preserve the history of the early immigrants, notably Mormon pioneers, of the region now occupied by the states of Deseret and Utah Territory. Any woman who meets the following requirements is welcome to join: (1) She must be a direct descendant, or legally adopted direct descendant, of a pioneer ancestor; (2) she must have traveled to or through the area covered by the State of Deseret/Utah Territory between July 1847 and May 10, 1869 (the date the railroad was completed); and (3) she must be over the age of eighteen and of good moral character. East to west, west to east, north to south, or south to north are all valid directions for travel through the State of Utah and the Utah Territory.
Relics, apparel, and everyday items like aprons, bibles, blankets, and even nail clippers are on display in the museum. Axes, blacksmith tools, and plows are just a few examples of the numerous farming and outdoor items that the pioneers utilized. There are also several personal letters and accounts of the people who bravely left everything they knew to begin a life in a foreign land.
