The Brigham Young Historical Park, just east of the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is a park on land that originally was part of Brigham Young's farm. Brigham Young was the second President of that church, and considered a prophet by many, often referred to by Mormons and non-Mormons alike as "The American Moses." Young oversaw the settlement not only of Utah, where he was governor, but of the lands that eventually became Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, and much of Southern California. Young's cities are still examples of the early master-planned communities--Salt Lake City being famous for having been originally constructed in the 1850s with six-lane roads and elevator shafts.
