This 2 1/2 story brick home was built in 1895. Its site orientation is unusual, being set far back from the street down a long driveway. The English Tudor half-timbering is also unusual in a house that is otherwise Victorian-influenced, as evident from the front portico, large front windows, south bay window and multiple gables. The home has beautiful hand-grained woodwork in the stairway and hall. The foundation is reportedly unique in that the stones below ground are not cemented but laid loosely to support the house and keep it level. A fireplace, in the central room, was designed with an air intake pipe that brought in outside air and heated it in pipes in the back of the fireplace, then carried it to two of the upstairs rooms. That has been replaced by a modern heating system.

This home is located at 598 West 100 South in Mount Pleasant, Utah

Presbyterian Centennial Bell

The Presbyterian work in Utah began at Corinne June 11, 1869 under Rev. Melanchthon Hughes, sent here by Rev. Sheldon Jackson, Missionary and Educator. This bell was later given to the first congregation. In the first century, the Presbyterians established some 125 schools and churches throughout Utah. The educational and religious impact cannot be measured.

“Behold a sower went out to sow — and some brought forth a hundred fold”

This monument is located at 2420 North 4000 West in Corinne, Utah and was erected by the Corinne Lions Club and the Presbytery of Utah 1969.

Wayne Theatre

This building of sawed logs, cement, and stucco was constructed by James and Mable Ellett in 1947 and operated as the Ellett Theatre.

On March 19, 1956, the Elletts deeded 30 percent interest of the building to Edwin (Ted) and Alberta Oldroyd. Together their families operated the theater until TV came into Wayne County. Until 1971, John and Maida Giles and Stanley and Hilma Brinkerhoff also worked in the business.

The Brinkerhoff family purchased the business in October 1971 and renamed it Wayne Theatre. With the help of others, they operated it until September 1994. James and Nanette Anderson purchased the business, changed the old projection machines to a one-reel operation, and improved the building. Later they obtained a grant from the Utah Historical Society and remodeled the building which is being successfully operated as a movie theater.

Spring Plowing

Mormon pioneers arrived at Spanish Fork in 1850 with Enoch Reece claiming 400 acres in the river bottoms two miles west of the current town, building the first house and starting the first business of raising cattle. In the winter of 1850-51, a few families settled along the Spanish Fork River in dugout homes in the high riverbank. By the end of 1852 the population along the river had grown to over 100 families. In 1854, Fort Saint Luke was built on the present site of Spanish Fork. In January, 1855, the area of Spanish Fork was incorporated. Soon after Icelandic immigrants established the first permanent Icelandic settlement in the United States. The town continued to grow to over 1,000 to 1860. The main prosperity of the area was agricultural crops and livestock, followed by saw and flour mills. These hardy pioneers dug an irrigation system to farm the rich soil along the Spanish Fork River for their orchards and fields. Their efforts were the foundation of the continuing prosperity Spanish Fork enjoys today.

This monument is located in the Canyon Creek Shopping center in Spanish Fork, Utah

Daniel Carter Barn
1803-1887

The Daniel Carter Barn was built in 1850. It is the oldest structure standing in its original location in Bountiful.

Daniel Carter was born 28 August 1803, in Benson, Rutland, Vermont, the son of Jabez Carter and Rebecca Dowd. He was a farmer by profession. After joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he moved first to Kirtland, Ohio, then Far West, Missouri, then Nauvoo, Illinois, and finally traveled by wagon train to the Salt Lake Valley in 1850 with his daughter, Ruth Clarissa.

He settled in what is now known as Bountiful. He built the rock barn to shelter not only his animals, but his family. Carter is listed among the area’s first nurserymen.

A description in the book, “east of Antelope Island,” said “Many a tree was budded by him.” He had the best fruit orchard in Bountiful and the produce from his vegetable garden was so plentiful, that he always had much to give away. Flowers, too, grew abundantly around his home. He died 10 April 1887, and is buried in the Bountiful City Cemetery.

This plaque has been donated by the posterity of Peter Carlos Cornia, a great grandson of Daniel Carter. Carlos was born 8 March 1886 in Woodruff, Rich County, Utah, the son of Peter Carlos Cornia and Lucy Helen Dickson. He died 11 March 1979 and is buried in the Woodruff City Cemetery.

Located at 299 North 200 West in Bountiful, Utah.

Settlement of Greenville

In 1860 Samuel Edwards, George Horton, William Richards and David Miller with their families came from Parowan and Cedar City and settled Dry Creek. Soon others followed. Homes were built of logs, rock, and adobe. The meadows were covered with lush growth which furnished winter feed and summer pasture, hence the name of “Greenville.” A grist mill was built in 1865 by William Barton which served nearby communities. The first log school house was built on the site where a church was later erected. It was used for church and school until 1906. An L.D.S. Ward was organized in 1872 with Robert Easton as Bishop.
