Time Travel on South Temple

Time Travel on South Temple is an exciting walking tour guide featuring ten historic buildings on South Temple Street between 300 East and 700 East. The entry for each building includes a description of its history and architecture, photographs, thinking questions, and a brief activity. The brochure also includes many historic photos. Whenever possible, links are made between the buildings and the lives of historic or present-day children.
