Easter Greetings

Old Photographs

This feed stable still stands and is located west of Wheeler's Drive In..., It is said to be where the National Guard Calvary housed their horses .

We are not sure where this building was located.  We think it might have been  on Main Street ....North side. 

Wondering what it's like to be at RootsTech? EasyGenie did a two-minute walkthrough of RootsTech Salt Lake City this past year.
