In 1847, they migrated to the area from the Mexican Territory in search of a secluded area in which to practice their religion. They hoped to escape persecution in the United States and to practice their faith more freely. Mormon leader Brigham Young is reported to have said, &#8220;This is the place for us.&#8221; He had seen the Salt Lake Valley in a vision before the wagon train arrived. However, upon arrival, they discovered that the valley was not inhabited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the top attractions of Salt Lake City are the museums and galleries. If you&#8217;re an art lover, you can tour the Temple and Church History Museum. You can even attend a Mormon-related event.
