LDS History
Martin’s Cove is a historic site in Wyoming. In November 1856, about 500 Mormon emigrants in the Martin Handcart Company were halted for five days in the Cove by snow and cold while on their way to Salt Lake City. The Martin Handcart company had begun its journey on July 28, 1856 which was dangerously late in the season and would ultimately lead to the disaster. Although the number who died in the Cove is unknown, more than 145 members of the Martin Company died before reaching Salt Lake City.
Family Friendliness
Riverton is the rendezvous community of Wyoming, past, present and future. For centuries, people have chosen the Wind River Valley as a place to come together. That rendezvous tradition continues today with a strong sense of civic pride in a friendly, enthusiastic and progressive community with an unsurpassed quality of life.
