Painting of Jesus and flock of sheep.

100+ year-old Fruitcake, Senior Bacon

A lady working there informed us about the painting of Jesus: when you walk by, his eyes follow you. So does his sheep's.

100+ Year-Old Fruitcake and Senior Citizen Bacon

Just a heads up about the museum: it's open from 9-5 Monday thru Saturday. Unfortunately, I got there too late to view at least the fruitcake... and the bacon, I presume.

100+ year-old Fruitcake, Senior Bacon

I thought this was going to be a fun quirky thing to do, then all of a sudden it was a Mormon history lesson. Not a fan of religion, and I'm not rude, so I listened about Joseph Smith and the guide was sweet. Her family helped settle the town and all, but there was a donation box and I didn't have cash. I had to slink out. Go for the history and pic but be kind and take a couple of bucks.

Knitting sampler and mannequin.

100 year Old Fruitcake

The cake and bacon are still there. Take the guided tour if offered and you can see other oddities, like a hand-carved wooden chain with over 125 links and several caged, round balls, and a 15 foot hand-knitted sampler scarf with 80 knitting patterns on it. There is also a life size painting of Jesus with a flock of lambs painted so the eyes and legs of all appear to orient and follow you. Ah. Utah. [Flo, 07/19/2015]
