Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter Tours Temple Square

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, visited Temple Square during a brief stopover in Salt Lake City July 19 while on their way home to Georgia. They were given a tour of the square by full-time missionary guide Sister Pam Misbach. The Carters heard a demonstration of the acoustics and a brief rendition of “Come, Come, Ye Saints” in the Tabernacle, then viewed the Christus statue in the North Visitors’ Center. As souvenirs of their visit, the Carters were given a tape of Tabernacle Choir music and a book describing Temple Square.
