Worth Visiting...

The Our Little Angel Statue can be found in the Salt Lake City Cemetery. It was commissioned by Richard Paul Evans, author of The Christmas Box, after he heard that grieving readers were seeking out the angel. The bronze statue really is beautiful, and it's obvious that it is frequently visited. There is an invitation on the plaque inviting visitors to place a white flower at its base.

 

After a longer than expected hunt, we found the grave of Brigham Young, Utah's first governor and the second President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is in a peaceful and beautiful little park. There are also several other graves, including four of his wives and poetess, Eliza R. Snow.

 

 

This large mural, called SLC Pepper, on the side of a parking garage has dozens of famous faces on it. The artwork is a take on the Beatles' iconic "Sgt. Pepper" album. Jann Haworth, the woman behind the project, helped design the album's original artwork.
