Living in Utah is such a great experience. There are so many great things to do and sights to see. The beautiful scenery ranges from the very north cache valley to the desert south of Southern Utah. One of the greatest places to retire is in the southwest corner of the state in a place called Saint George. Just 40 minutes from Mesquite Nevada and just outside of Saint George resides some of the most beautiful National Parks in the world, Zion National Park. If there is one thing many seniors say when it comes to Saint George is how they "love the way they are treated!" That is what keeps them coming back and having these great experiences time and time again.

Saint George has very rich history, settled by pioneers in 1861 that came from Salt Lake City. The pioneers were sent down by Mormon leader Brigham Young to grow cotton and wine grapes along with harvesting silk to supply the northern states during the Civil War. The people worked with the local Indians to create peace so they could create a community for more settlers to come help the expansion of the piece of land called Saint George. Because of the silk production that took place this part of Utah is term as "Utah’s Dixie." Since then the wineries have closed cotton mills have closed, but Utah’s Dixie is still a strong place for business. The Brigham Young home is currently owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder Day Saints and holds tours through out the week. Along with the Brigham Young home there is the other homes the Church has obtained and restores such as the Jacob Hamblin home.
