LDS Conference Center

 

 

 

 

The Conference Center, located across the street to the north of the Salt Lake Temple, was completed in April of 2000. This massive building seats approximately 21,000 in the main auditorium. It is constructed of stone from the same quarry which provided the granite for the Salt Lake Temple.

Jarvie Ranch at Brown's Park

 

 

 

 

This historic property built in 1880 provides a glimpse of turn-of-the-century frontier life in Brown's Park. John Jarvie, a business man from Scotland, chose this particular one because of the naturally occurring river crossing. For years it had been used by Indians, fur trappers, travelers, and local residents. Jarvie figured it would be an excellent spot to establish a business. At its height, the Jarvie ranch operation included a store, post office, river ferry, and cemetery.

Salt Lake Temple

The Salt Lake Temple is the largest (of more than 130 around the world) and arguably the best-known temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is the sixth temple built by the church overall, and the fourth operating temple built since the Mormon exodus from Nauvoo, Illinois.

The Salt Lake Temple is the centerpiece of the 10 acre Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. Although there are no public tours inside the temple (because it is sacred so a temple recommend is required), the temple grounds are open to the public and are a popular tourist attraction.
