Introduction
The Homes of the Apostles tour begins at the Orson and Marinda Hyde Home. Orson Hyde dedicated the Holy Land in 1841 for the gathering of the Jewish people in the latter days. In appreciation for his service, neighbors built this home for the Hyde family. The building was fully restored in 2020.
What to Expect
The Orson and Marinda Hyde Home is a two-room tour. The home includes a self-guided exhibit outlining the first four overseas missions of the Apostles, while the parlor is a guided tour by missionaries. After the tour of the Hyde Home, you will walk or drive over to the Heber and Vilate Kimball Home to continue the Homes of the Apostles tour.
