Winter Quarters, Nebraska
Winter Quarters, Nebraska, was an encampment formed by approximately 3,500 members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as they awaited better conditions for their trek westward during the winter of 1846-1847. Over 800 shelters were built at the settlement just outside of Omaha and it remained populated until 1848.
