Comments about ‘LDS pioneers, Great Basin get 'heritage areas'’

I was thrilled when I heard about this heritage project. All my family settled Manti and surroundings areas and then moved south when Pres. Brigham Young called them to Dixie. I can't tell you how many times my husband and I have visited these small towns, especially Manti and Orderville, and left with a heavy heart and tears in our eyes because these beautiful towns heritage was being ignored and torn down. Especially Manti where it served as such an important community for Southern Utah. We need more projects like this in Utah where FAMILIES can go for good entertainmnet and an educational experience. I thank the people that worked so hard to acquire this grant. L. Karen Platt,
