Weekend activity: Visit the Church history sites abundant in SLC

Memorial Day is fast approaching, the youngsters are counting down the final days of school and folks are adding sunblock and flip-flops to their shopping lists. While the weather in many areas of the United States seems more typical of early March than late May, summer is, in fact, just weeks away.

There's plenty to see on Temple Square and in neighboring venues such as the Church History Museum, the Conference Center and in the historic Joseph Smith Memorial Building.
