Brigham Young Winter Home
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 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.
