Sawyer Helps Reset The Queuing In This Room
Sites Of St. George
The Brigham Young Winter Home and Office is a historic
residence and museum. Brigham Young was the foremost
Mormon pioneer and led the church to the Utah Territory. As
Young grew older, his arthritis precluded him from spending
winters in the Salt Lake City region, so his followers built him a
winter home in St. George in the arid Dixie region of Utah.
Young seasonally occupied the home and office from 1873 to
1876. The building was eventually deeded to the Utah State
Parks and Recreation department and is now open as a
museum.
