Brigham Young moved from Auburn, N.Y., to the Haydenville area of Aurelius Township in 1823. It was there that he met Miriam Angeline Works, an 18-year-old young woman with blond hair and blue eyes. Brigham and Miriam were married in October 1824.

It is thought that the first home they ever lived in as a couple was this home in Haydenville, N.Y. That home, situated near the banks of the Owasco Outlet Canal, has since been remodeled and greatly enlarged. Some photographs show the home without the lower, wide portion seen at the right. Brigham and Miriam did not stay in the Haydenville home very long, likely a matter of weeks, before moving to nearby Port Byron.
