This Is the Place Heritage Park is a Utah state park on the east side of Salt Lake City near the mouth of Emigration Canyon. The park offers experiences to see the West as it was during European American settlement of the area, when the area was a territory of Mexico. The park offers a collection of more than 50 historic homes and buildings, along with a section dedicated to honoring Utah’s Native American tribes. The This Is the Place Monument marks the end of the 1,300-mile Mormon Pioneer Trail.

Iosepa is a historic settlement in Skull Valley, Tooele County, established by Pacific Islander Latter-day Saint pioneers — primarily Native Hawaiians — in the 1800s. Although it’s mostly desolate now, the town site holds important history. Utah now has the fifth-largest population of Pacific Islanders in the mainland United States and continues to embody many values of Pasifika people through community, family, and service.
