About Utah Territorial Statehouse
This Fillmore landmark was built as the planned capitol for a future state of Utah, with Brigham Young directing its construction. Only the south wing was completed, and its finished section hosted the Territorial Legislature in December 1855, the only full session held there. The seat of government returned to Salt Lake City in December 1858. Today the grounds include a museum store, an auditorium, a rose garden, picnic areas, three restored pioneer cabins, and an an 1867 stone schoolhouse. Lodging and camping are available nearby.
