7. This is the Place Heritage Park

Built in 1947, this monument honors Brigham Young, who stood on the high vista whereupon it's located in 1847 and told his followers, "This is the place." And so it was that Salt Lake City was founded. At nearby Deseret Village, you can find out what it was like to live in Utah during the 1800s. Informative guided tours show historical homes and memorabilia common to the time period. Included in the various attractions is Forest Farm Home, which once belonged to Brigham Young.   (© 10Best)

Experience a 19th-century Utah village at Heritage Park, located at the entrance to Salt Lake Valley, where the 1,300-mile Mormon trail came to an end. See demonstrations of pioneer crafts and take part in hands-on activities. (from Sunset)
