About

Historical LandmarkReligious OrganizationThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
The Martin’s Cove: Mormon Trail Site includes a visitors’ center with artwork, artifacts, and exhibits about the rescue of the Willie and Martin handcart companies and the Hunt and Hodgett wagon companies in 1856 and the Latter-day Saint migration west. Throughout the historic site, monuments, memorials, and sculptures commemorate the rescue. A trail loop leads to the eastern portion of the cove. Visitors may also hike a trail that leads to Devil’s Gate and explore the Sun Ranch at Devil’s Gate, a national historic landmark interpreting the homestead and cattle ranch that began on the site in 1872.

    This is such a beautiful site. Some of my Ancestors traveled by Handcarts as part of the Willey and Martin Handcart Companies. This was our third trip to this site but our first time seeing the museum.

    On November 4, 1856, the Martin Handcart Company set up camp here the blizzard made going on impossible. They remained here for five days until the weather let up and they could press on with their rescuers. This site is touching, as you walk on the trail you reflect on the events that took place here.

    This place is out in the middle of NOWHERE! Which was great for us being with an oversize load. Very nice owner, very clean, cozy room. Pet friendly. Only down side there are no tv's in the rooms.
