This unique tour explores how the post-Manifesto period of LDS history—marked by the 1890 declaration by President Wilford Woodruff ending the Church's official practice of polygamy—continues to echo through Provo’s historic homes. Centered on the preserved dwellings of two devoted 19th-century polygamous wives, this tour uses architecture as a lens to examine the personal and cultural disruptions brought by sweeping religious change.

Though these two women never met and lived in Provo during different decades, the homes they inhabited offer rare insight into their lives. In addition to seeing the two residences where they lived, the tour will look at three additional historic homes to deepen our understanding of how the lives of polygamous wives changed over time. These structures are more than just buildings—they are testimonies to resilience, adaptation, and the hidden layers of Utah’s complex past.
