This is a nice place to visit if you want to learn about Mormon history. The Mormon Battalion Historic Site provides free tours (about 40 minutes long) to the public that take visitors on an interactive tour of what it was like when a group of more than 400 Mormons who joined the US Army marched from Iowa to San Diego.
