Welcome to the site of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers in Washington County, Utah
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dixie Pioneer Celebration was a success!
We are so happy to report that our Celebration day was a great success. We had a great turnout from the community and volunteers. We had homemade bread and honey butter that we gave to everyone who went through the Museum and it was a tremendous hit. We want to thank Eldon MacArthur and JoAnn Burgess for their contribution.
The first person histories were a big hit and we all learned a lot about the lives of our early pioneer ancestors. Thank you to Dori Wilkerson for organizing the ladies who dressed in pioneer costume and presented their ancestors history. Thanks to the ladies who made presentations: JoAnn Burgess, Mary Johnson, Lorraine Sullivan, Sharon Wetzel, Alina Smith, Brenda Webster and Norma Langford. Great job!!
Dori, in period costume, represented Hortense McQuarrie Odlum and greeted everyone to the Museum and briefly described how the Museum Building came into being. She was a great addition to the day and everyone enjoyed hearing her story.
A great big thanks to Vera Seitz and Brenda Jones plus the group of volunteers for organizing the pioneer games. Both kids and adults learned and re-learned some of the fun games from long ago and all had great fun.
I would like to thank the committee who worked hard to make this event happen in a very short amount of time. Shauna Niederhauser (food), Jeannie Vander Bruggen (music), Kay Matlock (advertising). Without all the hard work and expertise of the committee members we wouldn't have been able to make this event happen. Thanks again for all your help!

The three Companies maintain a
Pioneer Museum
which is open to the public, with many
Pioneer Histories, Pioneer Pictures, and Artifacts.
The objective of the
organization of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers is to preserve our
pioneer heritage and to honor the names and memories of those pioneers
who came to Utah prior to May 10, 1869. This
is the date when the two railroads, one from the East coast and one from
the West coast, joined together in Utah.
