Mormon Pioneer School - Salt Lake City Tours
The Heber East Ward School was originally built in 1865 and replicated in 1996 for This Is The Place Heritage Park's pioneer history village. Made of red sandstone from the mountains near Heber, Utah, it was used for both church meetings and for school. In pioneer days, money was scarce, so teachers were often paid in produce, lumber, and other materials. Parents even offered boarding to teachers as a means of paying tuition.

Jewkes-Draper Mormon Pioneer Home - Salt Lake City Tours
Samuel Jewkes, an English immigrant to the Mormon church, ran a gristmill and a sawmill in the town of Fountain Green, Utah. His middle class home was built with tine timbers connected with mortise and tendon joints and wooden pegs; the walls insulated with adobe bricks placed between the timbers using lime plaster and whitewash on the surfaces. The exterior was clapboard. Built in the mid-1860's, Jewkes later sold the home to Henry Draper in 1879. This quaint home was relocated in 1980 and now sits in the Mormon pioneer history village at This Is The Place Heritage Park.
