Mormon Trail Center at Winter Quarters

We visit to the Mormon Trail Center at Winter Quarters on 3215 State Street in
Omaha, its museum and cemetery honoring those who braved the journey westward nearly two centuries ago.

Special thanks to Bill Lawler and the LDS volunteers for showing me around and sharing their stories.

David first started broadcasting at his hometown radio station in Holdrege, Nebraska while still in high school. He went on to earn journalism and law degrees from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, served as an officer in the U.S. Army, and has worked for radio and television stations across the United States. He is a big advocate for community media and loves being a part of the local fabric of NPR. He also has a cat, Pickles.
