Hildale, UT - Come Here if You Want a Polygamy Lifestyle

Hildale, Utah, is home to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or a denomination of Mormonism as they used to be called. The town is actually their headquarters, and as such, it's one of the only places in the U.S. where polygamy is still allowed, at least in practice. The church has tried to distance itself from the practice in recent years, and it's no longer a common practice.

Much of this small town's land was once held by the church, but it has tried to rebrand as a tourist town in recent years with quite a bit of success.
