We went to The Brigham Young Home. This was the Young’s second home in the area. At first they settled across the Missouri in Montrose, Iowa. When Brigham was on a mission his wife Mary Ann purchased an unfinished log cabin in Nauvoo and moved the family of six children. When Brigham came home from England he finished the cabin and then began work on the house. After Joseph Smith was martyred, he added an East wing to accommodate meetings of the Apostles. The members completed the temple and did as many ordinances as they could before they started the trek west.
