Brigham Young Historic Park preserves the former residence of Salt Lake City founder Brigham Young, who served as territorial governor of Utah between 1850 and 1856. Today, Young's former estate has been converted into a beautiful public grassy park, located adjacent to the city's Temple Square, which showcases museums and religious buildings connected to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Park visitors can relax on benches and rest in the park's lush green landscaping, which is anchored by a rustic pioneer-style water wheel that spins along City Creek. Several statue memorials honor significant city historic figures. Each summer between June and August, parkgoers can enjoy an annual summer concert series Tuesday through Friday evenings. On select Wednesdays throughout the summer, a lecture series brings civic figures to speak on a variety of educational topics.
