Abstract

Lower Goshen, three miles northwest of present-day Goshen, Utah, was a Mormon pioneer town. Lower Goshen was settled in 1860 and abandoned by the end of the decade. The town lay undisturbed for nearly 120 years. The article discusses the artifacts found there and attempts to put together an image of life as a pioneer in Utah. Everything from glass bottles and bottle stops to log cabins, jewelry to military buttons, were found in the archaeological dig.
