occupy wall street

From their early beginnings in the East, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints developed infrastructure in Kirtland, complete with an ashery and sawmill, to produce building materials and funds for the temple. During the trek West, countless stories are told of the tireless work ethic of those heroic men and women. Soon after arriving in the Salt Lake Valley, desert wasteland quickly became an oasis of industry as members were sent on missions specifically to develop the land. With the beehive as their symbol, the pioneers were always striving for an industrious society.
