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
Mendon, New York
Neighbors
The Youngs and the Kimballs. Brigham Young's father, John, came to Mendon in 1827, and Brigham moved his own family onto his father's farm in the spring of 1829. Heber C. Kimball, a blacksmith and potter, had married Vilate Murray here in 1822.
A Book Passed Hand to Hand
Phinehas Young read the Book of Mormon he bought at the Tomlinson Inn, then passed it to his father and to his sister Fanny. Fanny gave it to Brigham.
Leaving
The Youngs and Kimballs moved to Kirtland, Ohio, in 1833. By that September the inn's part in Church history was over.
What Happened Here
- : At the Tomlinson Inn, Samuel Smith, the Prophet's brother, sold a copy of the new Book of Mormon to Phinehas Young, Brigham's brother.
- : Eleazer Miller baptized Brigham Young. Brigham remembered it as "in my own little mill stream," and Miller confirmed him at the water's edge. Heber C. Kimball was baptized by Alpheus Gifford the same week, and Brigham's wife, Miriam, about three weeks later.
- : The Mendon Branch was organized with about 30 members. Eleven were Youngs. They met in an upstairs room at the Tomlinson Inn.
- : Miriam Young died of tuberculosis. Brigham buried her in the Tomlinson Corners cemetery, then moved with his two daughters into Heber and Vilate Kimball's house for about a year and a half.
On the Map
- John Young's farm took in the corners where Cheese Factory Road meets the Mendon-Ionia Road. At the back of the property Brigham built his own house over the creek, the same little mill stream he was baptized in: the mill downstairs, the family upstairs. After the Youngs left, later owners tore the mill down and left the pieces in the stream. Sheldon Fisher dug there for six summers and found silverware, tools and parts of the house. He later sold a van full of Brigham's belongings to the Museum of Church History and Art in Salt Lake City. Sources don't say where on the farm the mill stood, so the marker is at the corners.
- Tomlinson Corners, south of Mendon village on the Mendon-Ionia Road. The inn stood a short way down the road from the little graveyard where Miriam is buried. No source gives the inn's exact site; the marker is at the graveyard.
Trivia
- Heber C. Kimball later recalled women walking three miles from Victor to meetings in Mendon.
- Fisher's dig also turned up pottery made by Heber C. Kimball.
- Brigham built a house for his father on the road south of the village. It was later split in two and half of it moved across Cheese Factory Road. Both halves still stand there facing each other, each one enlarged into a house of its own.

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.
