I wanted to know more about the way things were for the people who lived in the old towns in their heyday. I think that a visit to Old Deseret Village is the closest that I will ever come to getting my wish. Old Deseret Village, is a living history museum where one can see what life was like in mid-1800s Utah. It's a living community that has been painstakingly recreated to represent Utah's past. All of its historic buildings are carefully restored or recreated homes, stores, churches and other structures. The village is even filled with actual citizens (actors) who demonstrate everyday pioneer life.
