Come celebrate with us during Handcart Days this summer in South Davis County!  Because of the faith of our Pioneer ancestry to persevere across the United States to a place of Freedom, we, in gratitude remember and celebrate them. Come celebrate the pioneers practicing faith in crossing the plains to enter the Salt Lake Valley on July 24th 1847 AND the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence securing our freedoms in this free land, the United State of America.
