Our Story
Our Story
Peculiar People started in 2023 while I was serving a mission in San Antonio, Texas. The name comes from Peter's description of the Saints as "a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people" — members who keep their covenants without making a show of it, and are fine looking a little old-fashioned for it.
We make apparel with original line art of Latter-day Saint temples, made one temple at a time and printed on heavier, better-made garments. Most members want to talk about the gospel but don't know how to open the door. A shirt someone asks about is an easier start than a knock on one.

From the Founders
You wear Peculiar People because it reminds you of an important moment. The day you got married, where you got an answer to a prayer you needed answered, where you first felt something you couldn't explain away.
Every design we make is made to do two things:
- Remind you of something special to you
- Prompt others to ask you about it
In order for this to work, our clothing needs to be the first thing you reach for, which is why we have worked hard to ensure our fabrics, build quality, and prints are premium and extremely comfortable.
The more you wear, the more you share. All it takes is one question. "What's that on your shirt?"
Evan & Bailee, founders of Peculiar People
Adam-ondi-Ahman, Missouri
In Scripture
Section 107, recorded in 1835, says that three years before he died Adam called his righteous posterity "into the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman" and gave them his last blessing. Section 116, given at Spring Hill in May or June 1838, reads: "Spring Hill is named by the Lord Adam-ondi-Ahman, because, said he, it is the place where Adam shall come to visit his people, or the Ancient of Days shall sit, as spoken of by Daniel the prophet."
Back in Church Hands
The Church announced the purchase of Spring Hill in March 1944. The final deeds were dated , a hundred years to the day after Joseph and Hyrum Smith were killed. The seller, Eugene Johnson, came from a family that had held the land for a century.
What Happened Here
- : A few Latter-day Saint families settled below the bluffs along the Grand River in Daviess County and called the place Spring Hill, for the springs running off the bluff. Lyman and Harriet Wight built one of the first homes, and Lyman ran a ferry across the river.
- : Joseph Smith and a party of Church leaders rode up the river to Wight's. Joseph wrote of grass-covered prairie and "plenty of wild game in this land, such as deer, turkey, hens, elk." They surveyed a city on the bluffs, and the revelation naming Adam-ondi-Ahman followed.
- : Joseph Smith organized a stake here, the Church's third, with his uncle John Smith as president and Lyman Wight and Reynolds Cahoon as counselors. The survey ran to more than 520 blocks over four square miles, and more than 200 homes went up that summer and fall.
- : Early in the month Missouri militiamen ordered every Latter-day Saint out of the county, under the governor's extermination order. By November 20 the town was nearly empty. Lyman Wight was arrested and spent five months jailed with Joseph Smith at Liberty.
On the Map
- The Wight home site sits at the foot of Tower Hill, where Joseph Smith found Lyman Wight living in 1838. A half-mile round-trip trail climbs to it. The two-story log house is gone, but its spot is marked.
- Spring Hill Summit, the high bluff the revelation named, has only a simple sign. It looks down on the valley and a bend of the Grand River.
- The Valley Overlook, a short walk southeast of its parking lot, takes in the valley between Spring Hill and the river.
Trivia
- Residents called the town Diahman for short.
- Tower Hill got its name from a stack of rocks the settlers took for the ruins of an old tower.
- Senior missionaries look after the trails and overlooks, which are open daily from dawn to dusk. Much of the Church's land around them is farmed.

FAQ
Is it appropriate to wear a temple on a shirt?
Is it appropriate to wear a temple on a shirt?
I get this one a lot, and I thought about it before I drew the first one. These are architectural drawings of a building, not anything that happens inside it. No slogans, nothing that turns the temple into a punchline. If you'd put a framed temple photo in your living room, this is that same idea on cotton.

Is Peculiar People affiliated with the Church?
No. We are an independent company. Peculiar People is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
How do I wash it so the print lasts?
How do I wash it so the print lasts?
Our prints are made to last. To make sure they do, use no bleach and no fabric softener, which coats the fibers and dulls the print over time. Don't iron over the design. You can wash it before the first wear to get the loose surface dye off, but you don't have to.
Where does the artwork come from?
Where does the artwork come from?
Original line art, made by us, one at a time. Every drawing gets checked against verified references before we add it to our collection.
Do you do group orders?
Do you do group orders?
Yes. Ward and stake temple trips, mission reunions, family reunions. Email support@peculiarpeopleco.com with the temple, the garment, and roughly how many people, and I'll get back to you with a price.
What is the digital art file?
What is the digital art file?
An SVG of the temple line art for $4.95. Same drawing that goes on the shirts. It's a vector, so it scales to any size without going soft at the edges, and it opens in Cricut, Illustrator, Figma, or anything else that reads vectors.
