Facts and practical information

The Brigham Young Winter Home and Office is a historic residence and museum located in St. George, Utah. Brigham Young was the foremost Mormon pioneer and second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who led its members to the Utah Territory. As Young grew older, his arthritis precluded him from spending winters in the Salt Lake City region, so a winter home in St. George, in the arid Dixie region of Utah, was built for him. Young seasonally occupied the home and office from 1873 to 1876. The building was eventually deeded to the division of Utah State Parks and Recreation and is now open as a museum. ()
