“A true pioneer landmark of the West”
This place of worship is recognized as one of the true pioneer landmarks of the West and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1889, this Romanesque Mormon tabernacle was constructed of red sandstone that had to be transported by wagon or sled from a quarry 18 miles away. A free, self-guided tour reveals intricate wood ceilings and stone carvings. A small museum houses heirlooms and objects of art left by the homesteaders. Guided tours are also available.
Well worth the stop, the great great grandson of the builder was our guide.
The free tour of this beautifully crafted Tabernacle is well worth ones time. There is so much history of the Mormons who settled the area after crossing the plains and mountains to be learned during this tour as well as the architectural accomplishments that have withstood the tests of time and weather.
