The historic highlights include old photographs of buildings from Nauvoo, the life of Joseph Smith, the testimony of the Book of Mormon's three witnesses, the pioneer trek, the Mormon Battalion, and the building of the Salt Lake and Logan temples. Some of the articles contain information about Utah's history before the Mormon settlers. There are pictures of John C. Fremont, Benjamin L. E. Bonneville, history about the sego lily flower, and the Pony Express.
