Historic Temple Square
Historic Temple Square and the adjacent blocks to the north and east
contain a number of historically significant buildings for the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). On Temple Square you
will find the famous Salt Lake Temple which took 40 years to complete,
the Tabernacle, the Assembly Hall and two visitor centers. The Church
Office block, just across the street to the east, contains the
high-rise which houses the Church offices, the Joseph Smith Memorial
Building (previously the famous Hotel Utah), the Lion House, the
Beehive House, and Eagle Gate. A newly constructed pedestrian mall
joins Temple Square with the Church Office block and just across from
Temple Square to the north is the new 21,000 seat Conference Center.
Also located nearby is the Mormon Genealogical Library, which houses
the largest collection of genealogical records in the world. Energy Solutions Arena / Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz play at the Delta Center, located less than ten minutes

located in nearby stadiums include the Buzz (triple A baseball), and

Utah also boasts excellent football and basketball teams. Go Jazz!! The Best Snow on Earth!

class ski resorts. Home to the 2002 Winter Olympics, Salt Lake City is

Mountains. Let us help you find your way to the best snow on earth! Old Deseret Village/This is the Place Monument
The Old Deseret Village
re-creates the pioneering atmosphere of early Salt Lake City. Wander
the dirt roads side-by-side with pioneer men and women, and watch out
for the horse drawn wagons! This is the Place Monument, located near
the Village, commemorates Brigham Young's famous words as he and his
wagon train entered Salt Lake Valley for the first time, "This is the
right place." The Mormon pioneers continued on from this spot and
settled the Great Salt Lake valley.
The Great Salt Lake
The Great Salt Lake is the
remains of pre-historic Lake Bonneville. One of the world's largest
inland bodies of salt water, the Great Salt Lake is a beautiful place
to swim, boat, or just enjoy the sunset. Antelope Island, accessible by
car, is an animal preserve where you can enjoy antelopes and bisons in
their natural habitat. Also located nearby are the famous Bonneville
Salt Flats, well known among car racing aficionados.
Gardner's Historic Village
Originally a grain mill,
Gardner's Historic Village is now a collection of historic homes
converted into quaint shops. Wander through the "lanes" and pick up
hand-made lace and quilts, original paintings, old fashioned candy,
victorian reproductions, and other items. The shops surround the old
mill which now serves as a restaurant. A museum explaining the history
of the mill sits at the center of the village.
Park City: Historic Main Street
Park City is a historic town set
in the heart of the mountains, only a thirty minute drive from down
town Salt Lake. Wander the shops on historic main street, eat at the
variety of restaurants, visit the factory outlet shops, ride the "Great
Silver Mine Adventure", or visit the museum. If you miss the winter
skiing, visit the Alpine Slides during the summer months.
Historic Homes Tour
If you enjoy historic
architecture, be sure to visit the Utah Historic Society and pick up a
copy of the self-guided walking tour. Tours vary in length, and take
you through various time periods and architectural styles. This is a
great way to get a flavor for the beauty of Salt Lake.
Shopping
Shopping is available downtown,
and at the Gateway Center, both within walking disance of the Ellerbeck
Mansion. Shopping is also available at the Park City Outlet Mall
and the VF Factory Outlet in Draper. Both are about a 30 minute drive
from downtown Salt Lake. We can help you find your way!
