The This is the Place Monument is a historical monument at the This is the Place Heritage Park, located in Salt Lake City. It is named in honor of Brigham Young's famous statement in 1847 that the Latter-day Saint pioneers should settle in the Salt Lake Valley. The monument was sculpted between 1939 and 1947 by Mahonri M. Young, a grandson of Brigham Young. It stands as a monument to the Mormon pioneers as well as the explorers and settlers of the American West.
