We finally went out to the Tooele Pioneer Museum which is adjoined to the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Museum which is inside the old courthouse and jail. Both though small, were great. We found pictures and were able to print a history of my husband's ancestors who were the first people to settle this valley. We didn't even know we had roots here when we came.
