Brigham Young Winter Home
Brigham Young Winter Home and Office
The brick-and-timber winter residence of Mormon leader Brigham Young in his later years, preserved with 19th-century furnishings and open for free guided tours.
Brigham Young was the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the leader of the settlement of Utah. In his later years, suffering from arthritis, he preferred to spend winters in the mild climate of St. George, and he lived here starting in 1873. The two-story brick-and-timber house, together with the adjacent office, preserves the furniture, fireplaces, and household items of that era. The garden has fig trees and grapevines, reflecting the history of the Dixie region’s experiments with growing southern crops. Church volunteers offer free guided tours that last about 20 to 30 minutes. The house is located downtown and can be combined with the Tabernacle and the Temple.
