Ezra Taft Benson Home

Brigham Young, president of the LDS Church, sent Ezra Taft Benson (referred to as Ezra T. Benson to distinguish him from his great-grandson of the same name) to Cache Valley in 1860 to help plan the city and organize wards and stakes (congregations) for the church. Benson chose a plot of land now situated east of the Tabernacle. The foundation of the house is stone quarried at the time of the building of the Temple. Plans for the house followed the plans for the Benson home they left in the East when they followed the Saints to Utah. Mr. Benson worked hard on the design of the city and planned that each home would have enough land for a garden.*
