Are you curious to know the history behind Days of ‘47? Brigham Young and a determined company of Mormon pioneers became the leaders of one of the most pronounced treks in American history. These leaders realized their dreams upon arriving at the Great Salt Lake Valley, they drove wagons and pulled handcarts with horses and oxen with thousands of pioneers. These pioneers trekked their way across the plains to a widespread desert landscape that became known as the Utah Territory while carrying a strong vow to the American belief in freedom of religion. These pioneers sought to create a new life as they all had come together from many nations. The early Utah pioneer’s expedition demonstrated the faith, courage, and foresight that continues to influence pioneers today.

Through various activities and celebrations each year, The Utah Days of ‘47 remembers those outstanding 1847 pioneers and all those who followed. The Utah Days of ‘47 believes the example of the pioneers’ courage in the past and present creates a vision for the combined future that everyone can follow as a new Pioneer Spirit. To honor Utah’s early and modern pioneers and to keep their pioneering spirit alive, The Days of ‘47, Inc. is a private, nonprofit, all-volunteer, and charitable corporation.
