The Mormon Pioneer Cemetery Museum is located in the city of Omaha. Its monuments pay tribute to the religious pioneers who traveled the 1,300 miles of the Mormon Route, heading west. This site, known as the winter quarters, was a major stop, dating back to 1846. Over 600 Mormon pioneers died here due to inclement weather, and are buried in the cemetery. There are free daily tours explaining the history of the site.
