Portions of the partially rebuilt Fort Seminoe trading post at the Martin's Cove Mormon Handcart historic site in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. At the wagon stop in the 1850s, Mormon emigrants to their "New Zion" in Utah were offered shelter and respite. The adjacent handcart site -- on the old Mormon and Oregon trails (and the California Trail and Pony Express route as well, which all followed similar routes before diverging in what is now western Wyoming -- recalls the Mormons' westward migration after they were forced from their village in Illinois. Many Mormon emigrants pulled their families and/or possessions in crude handcarts on the arduous journey. These carts are used for school-group tours, when youngsters are invited to pull their classmates around the grounds. Photo by Carol Highsmith.
