No, not Donna Reed. It's Donner-Reed as in George Donner and James Reed, the leaders of the ill-fated pioneering party of 1846. As these unlucky and inept pioneers crossed the Salt Flats, they kept jettisoning stuff to lighten their load. A good chunk of those artifacts have been collected and are housed in this museum.
