Sorensen Home Museum
The family built the first one-room adobe section of this Draper house in 1880, with Martina Thompson's father as mason, and added rooms over time; the last addition, from around 1890, has decorative Victorian brickwork. Martina and Peter Sorensen, children of Danish immigrants, were parents to ten children, and the home also served as a meeting house for Scandinavian Latter-day Saints. It was moved to this lot in March 2002 and restored as a house museum with community donations and volunteer labor.
