Conference Tour
Our post-conference tour takes us to significant groups and stories on the edges of contemporary Mormonism. Leaving Provo at noon on
Sunday, the tour will visit the small community of Rocky Ridge, the historic Tintic District, and the legendary Delta, where overnight
accommodations will be provided. Monday offers a unique opportunity to visit the House of Aaron and tour the Topaz Internment Camp. This
tour offers a glimpse into twenty-first century communal living, polygamy, geographic isolation, and interaction on the edges of the Mormon
cultural region.
