Pan For Gold at the Mormon Battalion Historic Site!

Step into history and learn about the journey of the Mormon Battalion, which left the sweltering heat of Iowa in 1846, and completed one of the longest infantry marches in American history — about 2,000 miles — to San Diego. This fascinating story and much more is the focus of the Mormon Battalion Historical Site in Old Town. Bring the family, as the site is a great place for kids. Enjoy hands-on brick-making, great films and interesting artifacts. You can even pan for gold! Best of all, it’s free!  Call (619) 298-3317 or visit the Mormon Battalion online
