In addition to its pleasant climate and year round recreation, St. George City, Utah is a bastion of pioneer historical sites that stand as testaments to early settlers’ ingenuity and determination. Originally called to the area to grow cotton, St. George’s early pioneers made the desert bloom with other agricultural enterprises after seeing the climate was not conducive to cotton. The Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum, located behind the old courthouse in downtown St. George, chronicles the city’s history through displays of many pioneer artifacts. Other top pioneer historic sites include the Jacob Hamblin Home, the Brigham Young Winter Home, the St. George Tabernacle and the St. George Temple, all of which have stood since the 1860s and 1870s. Free guided tours are available at the two former residences. Visitors can walk the grounds at the St. George Temple and enjoy the exhibits at its visitor center, which tell the story of the magnificent building’s construction.
