Capitol Hill holds the Pioneer Memorial Museum and its pioneer collections. This history museum is operated by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, and sits on Capitol Hill in Salt Lake City. Inside, the museum hosts a large collection of artifacts related to the Mormon pioneers and early Utah, and houses libraries containing pioneer biographies and photographs. The building also serves as headquarters for the DUP, which has hundreds of local units called "camps" across communities throughout the Mormon corridor; many of those camps operate their own satellite museums.
The museum's collection contains thousands of artifacts from the Mormon-pioneer era — the time period defined here as prior to the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in May 1869. Several levels are split into themed rooms: one with relics tied to the Salt Lake Theatre, another preserving possessions of Ellis Reynolds Shipp, an early female doctor in Utah. Among the prominent artifacts you can see is the wagon Brigham Young was riding in when he entered the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847, the original eagle from Salt Lake City's historic Eagle Gate, and a supply wagon used by the United States Army.
Notice the very wagon Brigham Young rode into the valley in 1847, one of the artifacts resting inside this Capitol Hill museum.
