After the marterdom of Joseph Smith, the Saints were led from Nauvoo to the site of modern day Salt Lake City based upon a vision by the Prophet, Brigham Young. The words, "This Is The Place" were said by Brigham Young, as he saw the actual Salt Lake Valley for the first time in person. This page contains a sample of the best digital photos and pictures that we have taken of This Is The Place Monument in Salt Lake City. "This Is The Place" Monument, located south of Old Deseret Village, was erected in 1947. It commemorates the 100th anniversary of the arrival of Mormon pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley. Early Spanish explorers, mountain men and American Indians also are featured. A video presentation, exhibits and a museum store are available at the visitor center. The monument and visitor center are open year-round. This Is The Place State Park is Utah's most renowned historic park. It is on the east bench of Salt Lake City at the mouth of Emigration Canyon in Salt Lake City, Utah. "This Is The Place" Monument is the site where the first Mormon settlers entered into the Salt Lake Valley and marks the end of the 1,300 mile Mormon Pioneer National Historic Trail. These pictures and photos are for your enjoyment and may be freely used for clean, wholesome, noncommercial, purposes that are supportive of the LDS Church.
