 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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Because The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints encourages its members to trace their genealogical histories, many visitors to Salt Lake City spend considerable time in this interactive computer center and its more detail-oriented counterpart, Family History Library. Searchers plug in names, birthplaces and marriage dates, and the FamilySearch computers spit out mind-boggling arrays of genealogical records. Admission to the center is free, as is use of the 180 user-friendly FamilySearch computers. Serious searchers should call ahead for recommendations regarding pre-visit research.

 Traditional pioneer cuisine |
63 E South Temple Salt Lake City, UT 84150 United States +1 801 363 5466 |
Located in the one-time residence of Brigham Young, this small restaurant serves up traditional pioneer dishes to Temple Square tourists. Traditional country furnishings complement a simple menu including herb chicken, corn chowder, prime rib, and local trout. The adjoining party rooms are well-known for their pioneer-themed birthday bashes during which girls don pioneer hats, boys wear coonskin caps, and hostesses read old stories and direct pioneer games. For lunch, dinner, or a party, this simple restaurant makes an ideal stop for hungry tourists in town to soak up the history of Temple Square. Review © 2007, Wcities |
