If you are from out of the area, we invite you to join us for church services.  There will be a couple different times and locations to choose from.  They will be available in your registration packet at the reunion.

Sunday afternoon we will be visiting the Mulliner Mill Pond in Lehi.  We have applied to the city of Lehi and the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers for a historical marker to be placed at this site commemorating Samuel’s contribution to the community.  If approvals have been received in time we will hold a brief dedication ceremony at 4:00 that afternoon.  Details will be published at the reunion.

 

Things to Bring:

  • Your family
  • Family history information to compare, share and improve upon.
  • Any pictures or artifacts from the lives of your Mulliner descended ancestors.  We will place these in the Family History display with credit to you.  And, of course, they will be returned to you at the end of the reunion.
  • Camp chairs to sit on in the park
  • Any sports equipment – Frisbees, footballs, etc.
