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
Fayette, New York
The Whitmers
Peter and Mary Whitmer came out of the German-speaking community that had settled in Pennsylvania, and moved to Fayette in the early 1800s.
Where They Farmed
In the township between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, about 30 miles from Palmyra.
What Happened Here
- : Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery moved in with the Whitmers to finish translating the Book of Mormon, and Emma joined them. That month, before they saw the plates, Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer and Martin Harris received the revelation now in section 17. Mary Whitmer saw the plates too, in a private visitation.
- : The Church was organized, with six men who had already been baptized taking part. Joseph and Oliver ordained each other elders, the group took the sacrament, and some of those present were baptized in Seneca Lake.
- : The first conference met at the Whitmer home. Three men were ordained, others received licenses for their offices, and the conference approved the Articles and Covenants.
- : A revelation received near Fayette, now section 37, told the Church to gather to Ohio. The Whitmers sold the farm the next April.
- : Lucy Mack Smith led about eighty members of the Fayette branch out of Seneca County, bound for Kirtland.
- : For the Church's 150th anniversary, President Spencer W. Kimball spoke from a reconstructed Whitmer farmhouse during general conference, broadcast by satellite, and dedicated it. The original house was long gone.
On the Map
- The Whitmer farm on Aunkst Road, where the translation was finished and the first conference met, has the rebuilt log home and a visitors' center. Its mail goes through Waterloo.
- Seneca Lake, at the west edge of the map, where some of the first members were baptized. No record says where along the shore they went into the water; the marker sits at the lake's north end.
- Lucy Mack Smith's company started out on the Cayuga-Seneca Canal near Waterloo. The canal ran about 20 miles to the Erie Canal at Montezuma, and some of the old stone lining can still be seen. Sources give no closer starting point than "near Waterloo," so the marker is on the canal in the village.
Trivia
- Joseph Smith began his translation of the Bible in Fayette township, and the first known licenses for Church ministers were issued here.
- Fayette township had about 3,200 people in 1830. By 1840 it had about 3,700.

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?
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.
