1990 Mountain Meadows Monument

In Memoriam

In the valley below,

between September 7 and 11, 1857,

a company of more than 120 Arkansas emigrants

led by Captain John T. Baker and Captain Alexander Fancher

was attacked while en route to California.

This event is known in history as the Mountain Meadows Massacre.

Marker can be reached from Utah Route 18 at milepost 30.5.
