"Let them come on foot, with handcarts and wheelbarrows. Let then gird up their loins and walk through, and nothing shall hinder them."



South of this boulder on the banks of Clear Creek, is the site of the "Mormon Handcart Brigade Camp." In 1856 some thirteen hundred European immigrants, converts to the Mormon faith detrained at Iowa City, the end of the rail road. Encamped here they made handcarts and equipment for their journey on foot to Salt Lake City.
