Heard around the West

A ride on the Big Love bus

Betsy Marston | Nov 20, 2009 04:00 PM

What with sensational court cases about forced marriage and the Big Love television series, it was probably only a matter of time before locals cashed in on the fascination with “polygs.” Now you can pay a fee to take “The Polygamy Experience Tour” with guides who once lived under the thumb of Warren Jeffs, the jailed polygamist cult leader. Tours leave daily from St. George or Hildale, Utah, (877-520-9955) and the curious are urged to “come with questions.”

Read more about the experience: "Polygamy Tours? Why not?" by HCN contributor Beth Kampschror.
