Beginning in the 1840s, Utah pioneers – largely of European descent – moved west seeking religious freedom. Their European ancestry is still reflected today in the art, early clothing styles, and architecture of the time. Pioneers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built communities across the region based on their shared faith.
