Beehive House


The home of Brigham Young
67 East South Temple
Salt Lake City, UT 84111
United States
+1 801 240 2672
Brigham Young, president of the Mormon Church and governor of the Utah territory, lived in this genteel home with his dozen children from 1854 until his death. Today, the house is restored with period furnishings and open to the public for tours. Named after the beehive, the state symbol signifying thrift and industry, the house stands in vivid contrast to the 300-square-foot cabin once occupied by the "prosperous" Deuel family and now displayed just two blocks west near the Museum of Church History and Art. Guided tours begin every ten minutes and are free.

State Street & South Temple
Salt Lake City, UT 84111
United States
Visitors to the area may be suprised when they find themselves driving under this great 76-foot arch with a 4,000 pound eagle on top. The eagle gate has rested on State Street and South Temple since it was built in 1859. Originally, it served as the entrance to Brigham Young's property and led beyond that to City Creek Canyon. Now it is merely a reminder of simpler times in Salt Lake and of course, the prosperity of the Mormon pioneers.

Horses kick up the dusty road and children suck on molasses candy in the living history village called Old Deseret. Structures include a schoolhouse, stores, hotel, and many others. Interactive activities help convey the feel of an 1850 town in Utah. Plan on spending most of the day being captivated. Learn about how this park got its name by visiting the wonderful monument erected in 1947. Open Memorial Day-Labor Day.

Renaissance revival architectural gem
300 North State Street
(on Capitol Hill)
Salt Lake City, UT 84114

Utah's capitol building cost what was considered the amazing sum of USD2.7 million dollars to construct. Its rotunda reaches 165 feet and presides over an interior of marble noted for its light color and design. Massive Ionic columns, each carved from a single piece of marble, are thought to be the largest solid marble columns in the United States. Epic paintings around the arches and the rotunda represent Brigham Young and the Mormon pioneers. No admission fee.
