This is Fishing River. It is one of the places that the group had to traverse in order to reach their destination. People near feared the Saints would attack and the governor halted support for the Saints. While here, Joseph Smith received revelation in D&C 105.

It is recommended to look at the black box first!!
This is the arrowhead that allegedly killed Zelph the Lamanite or Nephite. June 3rd of 1834, a group of men found a mound and underneath it, skeletal remains along with this arrowhead. It is alleged that this arrowhead was the cause of Zelph's death as it was found lodged in his ribs.

The Travelled Wagon
This is a recreation of a wagon used during the 1834 trek to Missouri. Joseph Smith and many Saints wanted to move out to Missouri to create a new land for them to live without the hatred from the people. The group, called Zion's Camp, failed though as the governor rejected their territorial advances to new land. In wagons like this, the Saints travelled hills, rivers, and storms in order to find peace. It would carry their personal belongings and supplies to help them in their travels.
Oliver Huntington Diary
This is the diary of one of the Saints that travelled in Zion's Camp. In it, he accounts one of the spiritual experiences he had with Joseph Smith: "While the camp of Zion was on the way to Missouri in 1834, Joseph was some ways ahead of the company when there was seen talking with him by the roadside a man, a stranger. When the company came up there was no person with him. In camp that night, Heber asked the Prophet who the man was. Joseph replied that it was the beloved Disciple John, who was then on his way to the ten tribes in the north."
Thank you for coming!
