Brigham Young Historic Park represents a small portion of land once owned by the Brigham Young family in the center of Salt Lake City. On this property were farm barns and sheds, animals, orchards, and vegetable gardens. On the east side of the park, a rebuilt portion of cobblestone wall can be seen that once marked Brigham’s property.

Today, the park features statues memorializing the lives and efforts of the Latter-day Saints who arrived in Salt Lake City in the 1840s. There is a stage on the north side of the lawn that is backed by a waterwheel powered by the flow of City Creek. Free evening concerts are sometimes held here.

Located on the corner of two active downtown boulevards, Brigham Young Historic Park is surrounded by a fenced perimeter and a gated entrance. The park is open only for special events only.
