The Beehive House was the home of Brigham Young, leader of the first group of settlers in Utah and 2nd president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This beautiful, historic home is reminiscent of Southern architecture with its large porches, tall pillars, and beautiful gardens. It’s named after the beehive sculpture sitting on top of the house.

Brigham Young, maybe the most famous Mormon of all, and founder of Salt Lake City, once lived in this beautifully preserved house with (some) of his (many) wives, and a lot of his 57 children. It's now a house museum with free tours on the daily.
