Salt Lake City officials are considering designating Gilgal Sculpture Garden as a local landmark, which would provide historical protections for the quirky outdoor art installation featuring Mormon-themed sculptures and inscriptions. ABC4 reports the garden, created by LDS stonemason Thomas Child in the mid-20th century, includes depictions of Joseph Smith, Book of Mormon figures, and biblical scenes.

The garden has long been a curiosity in Salt Lake City, blending Child's folk-art vision with Mormon theology and symbolism. Landmark status would help preserve the site against future development and ensure its maintenance for public access.
