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
Carthage, Illinois
County Seat
Carthage was the seat of Hancock County and the site of the county jail. Nauvoo, where Joseph Smith was mayor and his brother Hyrum vice mayor, lay about 26 miles to the northwest.
The Jail
Begun in 1839 and finished about two years later, a two-story limestone building with cells for prisoners and rooms for the jailer, George Stigall, and his family. It held mostly people accused of minor crimes.
Why They Came
In June 1844 the Nauvoo city council declared the Nauvoo Expositor a public nuisance and had its press destroyed. Joseph and Hyrum Smith gave themselves up in Carthage on a riot charge, were charged there with treason, and were held in the jail to await trial. They arrived on the evening of .
What Happened Here
- : Soon after five in the afternoon, an armed mob stormed the jail and fired into the jailer's upstairs bedroom, where the four men were. Joseph and Hyrum Smith were killed. John Taylor was shot four times and survived; Willard Richards was not hurt. Section 135 of the Doctrine and Covenants, first printed in the 1844 edition, records that they "were shot in Carthage jail, on the 27th of June, 1844, about five o'clock p.m., by an armed mob."
- : Five men were tried in Carthage for the killings. The jury acquitted all five.
- : The Church bought the jail. It went on serving as a home into the 1930s.
- : At the urging of Bryant S. Hinckley, president of the Northern States Mission, the Church partly restored the jail and called a missionary couple to give tours.
- : President Gordon B. Hinckley dedicated the renovated complex. The jail had been restored as closely as possible to how it looked in 1844, and the visitors' center was enlarged.
On the Map
- The courthouse square downtown is listed on the National Register as the Carthage Courthouse Square Historic District.
- Hamilton's hotel stood at the southwest corner of Main and Washington Streets, a block south and four blocks east of the jail. Joseph Smith's party stayed there on the night of . The next day a hearing on the riot charge was held at the hotel, and that evening the brothers were taken to the jail. Sources give only the street corner, so the marker shows the corner rather than the building itself.
- Carthage Jail stands on Walnut Street, a few blocks northwest of the square. Tours start at the visitors' center at 310 Buchanan Street and go through four rooms, two on each floor. On the plaza leading to the jail stands Dee Jay Bawden's statue of the brothers, Hyrum behind Joseph with an arm around him. It was first planned as two separate statues. Slate tablets nearby carry quotations from both men.
Trivia
- The jail was used as a jail for only about 25 years. After that it was a private house, and one of the nicer ones in Carthage.
- Building it in 1839 to 1841 cost $4,105. In 1903 the Church paid $4,000 for the jail and its two acres.

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.

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.
