DUP Did It All - Historical Marker

I belong to the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. These, our ancestors have been here for years. From 1847 to 1867 they came here in tears. Let's give these great DUP women ten cheers!!!

On a trip to East Carbon, Utah, I saw this beehive looking historical marker. We stopped to take a close-up look. How fun to discover it was a Daughters of Utah Pioneers monument. There are hundreds through out the Inter-state Region, built years ago by enterprising women to honor their ancestors. These must have taken years to design, build and pay for.

As a girl when we went on road trips, my parents always wanted to stop and see the historical markers. We often grew tired of it, but know the work these recent ancestors did was remarkable. Now seldom does anyone even notice them. In fact, many have been defaced and damaged. Thanks to these great folks for keeping the memory of our forefathers alive.
