Mormon Trail Center, Council Bluffs, Iowa / Omaha, Nebraska

After leaving Nauvoo, IL, the Saints slowly made their way through the mud towards Council Bluffs, IA where they camped for the winter.  They eventually created their own temporary town near Omaha, Nebraska.  Here they prepared for their journey, where they would eventually leave the US and settle in what is now Utah.
