Tips from the community

To see history being made in real-time, visit the Utah State Capitol in the middle of Salt Lake City. The Capitol was built over a century ago and has been one of Utah's most recognizable landmarks ever since. See if you can spot the various beehive decorations, including the giant beehive sculptures—beehives are the symbols of Utah and the ideals of working together for the good of the whole.

    Salt Lake City, Utah's capital, is full of important and iconic historical landmarks. 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!
