I love to look at the beams of wood in the ceiling and imagine someone decades ago that would have been looking at those same beams of wood. The LDS church owns and staffs the museum and dictates the script that is shared with visitors. Their narrative claims that Jacob Hamblin was called on an "'Indian Mission' and had great relationships with the Native American people." Strange, then, that the Mormon Pioneers still felt the need to set up homes in forts with 12 foot walls surrounding them. I think there's likely more to the story and includes the fact that the Mormon pioneers took over land from indigenous tribes by force. However, this review is about the home/museum and that in itself is interesting. Just take the story with a grain of salt and perhaps do further research do get the full perspective-not just one side.

Mood- Weird Stuff…read more Today was an exceptionally weird day. I went to work and wanted to see some stuff. So what better way to get that accomplished than to hop in the car and research. This Spider was fabricated out of galvanized steel by Deveren Farley in 2018. It weighs over a ton, and stands 17 feet tall. This sculpture was meant to get an emotional response from people that viewed it. The head is crafted out of Utah License plates while the belly has a stop sign on it. All of the license plates that were used came from the evidence department of the Salt Lake City PD. Originally this art installation was at Main Street in a traffic circle until a local exterminator Morgan Termite and Pest Control purchased it and changed the residence to in front of his business. Would def recommend - the thought that was put into this art installation is what drew me to come and enjoy it. Pricing is free as it is out of front of a business. Location is Hilton Dr - St George UT - ample parking

The hostess asked if we wanted a tour and we said no thank you, that we were in a hurry. She said she was willing to give us a super fat highlight only tour, which was great. We enjoyed the historical information we wouldn't have gotten otherwise. The building is very beautiful and has some interesting history. Definitely worth checking out.

When you take a tour, you'll quickly learn that the tour guides are all volunteer service missionaries from the LDS (Mormon) church and are a wealth of knowledge on the history of the town, the architecture and, of course, the church. Plan about an hour for a good tour along with time for questions and to take pictures. The building itself is used for lots of events-devotionals, musical concerts, etc. My wife and I attended a gospel music concert here that was outstanding. The pews are all wood, so a little uncomfortable, but I appreciate the nod to the pioneers in keeping with the traditional furniture.

Go there in a jeep from Mesquite NV and have fun on the dirt roads.

We have not yet camped there, I am sure it would be a fantastic experience though and will post updates on our next trip there.

Most of the furnishings are replicas, but they've done a nice job to set the stage for what would have been a typical pioneer home. (There are a few original pieces which the tour guide will point out to the group.) The LDS church owns the property and staffs it with volunteer service missionaries to tell the story and history of the people. They've got the tour down to a science with storytelling and traffic flow done well.
