Brigham Young Historic Park

Location & Contact:

Description:

Brigham Young Historic Park is a beautiful, green area just east of Temple Square featuring statue memorials and a pioneer feel with a water wheel spinning through the free-flowing City Creek.

Located at the southeast corner of State Street and North Temple, the Historic Park occupies land that once belonged to Young as part of his farm. It is one of several exhibits just east of Temple Square that serve as memorial to him.

Although visitors are welcome to Brigham Young Historic Park throughout the year, during summer months the park is especially popular. Between June and August, Tuesday- and Friday-evening concerts feature local and internationally known musicians, and are free of charge to the public. The concerts begin at 8:00 p.m. in June and July and at 7:30 in August. Additionally, Wednesday evening talks on various subjects are given during those same months.
