Eagle Rock Meeting House

Marking the site of the first Latter-Day Saints meeting house, built in 1885. This was the first building erected in this community for religious purposes. The building was 16 X 28 feet costing $450.00, money for which was obtained by donation.

The meeting house was used for religious worship, recreation and public gatherings from 1885 to 1896.
