Winter Quarters Nebraska Temple
November 22, 2013 Chris and I went to the Winter Quarters Nebraska Temple for the first time. We took a couple of days off of work to make a long weekend trip to Omaha, Nebraska to see some of the church sights and get out of town. Behind the temple is a cemetery and next to the temple is the Mormon Trail Visitor Center where you learn the impact that Winter Quarters had on the early saints. We also went to see the Kanesville Tabernacle in Council Bluffs.

The Winter Quarters Temple was dedicated in 2001 and is one of three temples built in areas of historic significance. Winter Quarters served as one of the stops to gain supplies necessary for the saints to move West in the face of persecution. This is the 104th operating temple.
