Winter Quarters Nebraska Temple - Omaha, Nebraska

Clifford F

I've been waiting for years to get back to the Winter Quarters Temple. I served my mission in Nebraska and was present at the groundbreaking ceremony. I've got pictures with me shoveling dirt in a suit and my mission name tag.

I was absolutely invited in and loved my time in the Winter Quarters Temple. I was able to spend quite a bit of time here and even the temple president talked to me, which was quite a pleasant experience. All of the people there were super friendly and very fantastic. It was my pleasure to be there.

Thank you for providing me with such a fantastic experience!

This temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is set in a lovely location on the hills above old Florence. The grounds include the Winter Quarters Monument, an heroic-size statue by famous sculptor Avard Fairbanks which was made for the 1933 Chicago World Fair, and the Mormon Pioneer Cemetery.
The temple itself can only be entered by faithful members of the Church; however, the beautiful grounds can be enjoyed by anyone. It is a peaceful spot ideal for contemplating the purpose of life.

This is such a beautiful and historical place to visit with the family! It’s FREE. We walked the grounds and a man told us about the history of the area. Then we went when to the Winter Quarters Visitor Center across the street because they had a Pioneer Day celebration with activities and crafts for the kids to make. The museum was fun to walk through and there were interactive opportunities for the kids.

Beautiful architecture, graveyard, gardens, and visitors center. They offered informative, interesting tours with interactive displays that highlighted what life was like for the American west pioneers and the devastating effects of cultural and religious intolerance.

Fantastic place to worship and honor our God! Must be a member to enter, but you are welcome to walk the grounds. Don't forget to visit Winter Quarters Visitors Center. Local history of the Church of Latter Day Saints.

I loved the grounds and the atmosphere with the interpretive center and historic cemetery nearby. Some of the plaques seemed to be missing from the historic cemetery, but perhaps they were just being repaired or replaced. Beautiful place to visit and think.

This is such a profoundly sacred place. The sacrifices memorialized here are incredibly moving. The morning of our visit, the temple grounds and the adjacent graveyard were empty, and that solitude provided just the right atmosphere for contemplating the martyrdom of those many Latter Day Saints who paid the ultimate price for practicing their faith. This place is a monument to a dark chapter in American history, but also a testament to the faith that Christ inspires in His disciples, and what they been willing to suffer for His name's sake.
