Brigham and Amelia Young Home, Historical museum in Salt Lake City, United States.
The Brigham and Amelia Young Home is a museum in Salt Lake City preserving the residence where this prominent Mormon leader lived with his family. Restored rooms contain original furnishings and household objects that give insight into daily life during the 1800s.
The residence was built during Salt Lake City's early settlement period by Mormon pioneers and served the family for several decades. It later became a museum to document this chapter of the region's development.
The home reveals how prominent Mormon families organized their domestic spaces and the customs that shaped their household routines during that era. The arrangement of rooms and furnishings shows the priorities and values of this community.
The museum is open on most weekdays and offers guided tours through multiple floors and rooms filled with period furnishings. Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk through several levels of the house.
The museum preserves personal letters and journals that reveal the family's private thoughts and everyday concerns beyond their public role. These documents show that daily life was far less glamorous than public perception might suggest.
