Tips from the community
As the legend goes, "this is the place" were the words uttered by Brigham Young upon arrival in what is now Salt Lake City. Visit the heritage park for a monument commemorating this moment, and for a glimpse of what life was back then at the living history museum.

The city was established by Mormon pioneers in 1847, who went to build a city full of beautiful temples and memorials. Even if you're not a member of the LDS church, though, as the Crossroads of the West, Salt Lake has plenty of other worthwhile historical monuments scattered throughout the city and surrounding region. Whether you want to see temples or churches, historical houses or original farms, there's something for you to see in Salt Lake City!
