Territorial Statehouse State Park Museum

Utah's oldest existing government building went up under Brigham Young's direction when Fillmore was planned as the territorial capital. Its south wing was finished by December 1855 and hosted the only full legislative session held there, and the government moved to Salt Lake City in 1858. Inside are Brigham Young's office, pioneer china, textiles and musical instruments, plus a basement with a jail cell, a printing press, military weapons and Native American artifacts; outside are three restored pioneer cabins, an 1867 stone schoolhouse and a rose garden.
