Had a pleasant and interesting day touring all the Temple Square sites; for some reason the Mormon church chose this particular tour to really lay on the hard sell, though. For comparison, I'd say the tour of the Tabernacle was 90% interesting history and 10% light proselyting, which was fine. I understand it's a church, that's their job. The Beehive House tour was at least 80% proselyting. The two sisters were laying it on pretty thick with the testifying, and were quick to awkwardly change the subject when anyone asked a question about history. Brigham Young was a controversial guy. Polygamy, colonization and racism are kind of what he's known for. You can't just pretend that stuff never happened when you're giving a tour of the place where it all happened. By half way through, many people in our group were ignoring the guides and just reading the Brigham Young Wikipedia article on their phones.

This home is filled with Utah history. It was Brigham Youngs home and it is very beautiful inside. There are 2 parlors 1 a beautiful music parlor upstairs and 1 downstairs. It's a must see.

Basically a historic home of the many wives of Brigham Young. It's a nice house though, and they sell gifts and food.

We loved the tour of the Beehive House! The recreation of the original appearance and the genuine furniture/dishes are awesome to see. The detail is incredible. An amazing little piece of history!

It's an amazingly​ beautiful building with tons of history. If you're​ checking out all the historical Mormon sights in Salt Lake put this on the list. They should change the name to The Beehive Mansion, it's huge even by todays standards and it was built in the 1850's
