  The tour guide on this free tour was very informative and provided great insight into the early days of the Mormons (Later Day Saints - LDS).

  Brigham Young built this home late in his life. He also built a temple and a tabernacle. The folks that run the tours are missionaries filled with wonderful stories of their history. We have learned a lot about the Mormon religion in three days of wandering around St. George. See this house, the temple, the tabernacle, and the Hamblin House. Ask lots of questions.

  Gave a good look at what life was like for the early settlers in the St George area. Also gave insight into what type of person Brigham Young was. Also located close to good places to eat.

  This was far more interesting than we ever expected. It gave us a real sense of the times and histories of those early Utah settlers. The guide was even happy to discuss the Mormon view of evolution and responded to our barrage of questions with equanimity. Also, the area is filled with homes from that period, which you can at least see from the outside.

  It's not as old as most places but this place has been kept as If Brigham were still around. The missionary who conduct the tour are fun and engaging for young kids. The small vineyard and crop growing is fun. It's free and fun. It's not too far off the main road an is good piece of American history.

  The house is beautiful and very interesting to see as well as hearing the stories of how the pioneers lived. It's a treat to your eyes and mind. Takes you back to a simpler time.

  We were able to take the last tour at 4:30 pm and it was utterly amazing. Seeing the home and its history and they tried to keep it's original structure etc makes it very realistic. Even Brigham Young needed to escape the cold from SLC and get to heat.

  Took my girls here for a fun activity on a girls trip to St. George. It was so interesting to hear the history of the home and the area. So much to see in the home. I love to see history and experience it and this was awesome. Plus it is FREE. I have been to a lot pricey historical tours and this one beat most of them.

  The gentleman that took us through this home was very pleasant and explained the home and history very well as well as some info on the Mormon religion which I did not know alot about. I was glad to have visited. This gentleman made it a much richer experience than it would have been had we just walked through the home.
