Built in 1854, this is the restored residence of Brigham Young, when he served as President of the LDS Church and Governor of the Utah Territory. Now the home is a National Historic Landmark. Step back in time and see how Brigham Young and his family lived in the 1800s. Rooms include the playroom, the family store, the fairy castle, and the gracious sitting room, where each evening the Young family exhibited their talents and sang and prayed together. It is decorated with period furnishings. A beehive, the symbol of industry, sits atop the building. A free 30 minute tour is available.
