Utah Travel Guide 2012 - 51

The headquarters of the church and its most visited location is Historic Temple Square, located within three city blocks in downtown Salt Lake City. Temple Square contains nearly 35 acres of attractions, including the world-famous Salt Lake Temple. Tourists from all over the world come to witness the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform. Rehearsals are free of charge and open to the public every Thursday night from 8:00 to 9:30 PM, and Sundays from 9:30 to 10:00 AM. Many of Utah’s other LDS Temples have adjacent visitor centers and immaculately landscaped grounds, which non-members are welcome to visit and enjoy (only church members are permitted to enter LDS temples). Throughout Utah’s smaller towns, it is common to find historic tabernacles, chapels, or mercantile cooperative buildings that are still utilized. Many of these locations offer tours that inform visitors about their historical significance. Daughters of Utah Pioneers museums are an excellent way to discover more about the Mormon Pioneer story, they can be found in many Utah towns. The Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area is a region within Central and Southern Utah, which features towns with pioneer-era architecture and colorful histories.

SINCE THE DAY BRIGHAM YOUNG & THE FIRST PARTY OF MORMON EMIGRANTS REACHED THE SALT LAKE VALLEY,
Mormon culture and heritage have been indelible to the Utah experience. Today, members of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) comprise about 60% of the state’s population. LDS members live in accordance with standards and ideals of their spiritual beliefs. The result is a state known for citizens who believe in community and family values, volunteerism, civic pride, and possess a strong sense of history. Utah is a treasure trove of historic sites and buildings important to Mormon history.
