Brigham Young Winter Home Historical Site
In St. George, Utah, there is a historical home and museum called the Brigham Young Winter House and Office. That is one of the best places to visit in Saint George's. Brigham Young, the second president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), was a leading Mormon pioneer who led his followers to the Utah Territory. As Young got older, his arthritis made it impossible for him to spend the winters in the Salt Lake City area. As a result, a winter residence was constructed for him near St. George, in the dry Dixie region of Utah. From 1873 through 1876, Young temporarily occupied the house and office. The structure was later deeded to the Utah State Parks and Recreation division; it is currently open as a museum with tours led by Church missionaries.
The mansion is open to tourists without charge, and knowledgeable guides will show them through while imparting information about Brigham Young, his influence on the Mormon church, and the historical value of the house and its possessions. The residence is accessible from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the winter and until 7 p.m. in the summer. The house opens on Sundays at 1:00.
