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.

The Utah Flower Market is a joyful celebration of abundance, beauty, and the art of locally grown flowers. Held Wednesdays from mid-April to mid-October at Grove Station in Pleasant Grove, the market bursts with color and fragrance from dozens of unique, seasonal blooms freshly harvested by local growers. From delicate ranunculus and vibrant zinnias to fragrant sweet peas and bold dahlias, each week offers something new and unexpected. Set against the backdrop of a beautifully restored venue, the market creates an immersive, sensory-rich experience where visitors are surrounded by the stunning results of Utah’s flourishing flower farms.

Whether you're a floral designer sourcing 10-stem bunches of premium blooms or a flower lover looking to create your own arrangement, the market has something for everyone. Shoppers can browse a wide variety of flower types, or head to the bouquet bar for $5 bunches to build a personalized bouquet on the spot. Meet our friendly growers, soak up the scent of flowers in the air, and enjoy a specialty soda from Grove Station's soda shop. The Utah Flower Market is more than a place to shop—it's a place to slow down, connect with your senses, and savor the fleeting beauty of the season.
