    Nice to visit and honor those who were unjustly persecuted for their religious beliefs.

    Solemn and reverent place. Definitely sacred ground. Dirt roads only so you'll need a car wash afterwards.

    Leider habe ich nur den Erinnerungsstein und das Schild gesehen. Der Stein ist fast nicht mehr lesbar. Ein schönes Fleckchen Natur ist es auf jeden Fall, auch die idyllische Schotterstraße auf dem Weg dahin und wieder zurück.

    The gravel road was surrounded by beautiful fields full of deer. The site itself only has a very small parking lot and an old plaque. But if you read the story before you come (or while you are there), it is a place of significance and has a lovely and inviting spirit.

    There is a spirit here, so worth it for our trip. Our youngest was 13 so we had older kids. DO NOT go after a rain. It is a flood area, i would for sure take the east entrance in and out. This is a lot of one lane dirt roads. We almost went off a 10x12 concrete bridge (leaving on the west side) because we went over it sideways. (it was sooooo muddy) We rented a suburban but got a rear wheel drive expedition and almost had a disasterous tow bill. The mud would not have been passible in a sedan. The wonderful clerk at the far west temple sight said there has been many a 700 dollar tow bill come out of Haun's Mill.
