Lovingly resurrected by modern Latter-day Saints, this Mormon settlement flourished astride the Oregon Trail from 1880 to 1920. The spare, elegant architecture includes the Meeting House, the Tithing Office, and the Honeymoon House, which newlyweds were allowed to use rent-free until the birth of a child, or the community’s next marriage.
Visitor Fees: $1 per person
Seasons Open: Mon - Sat 10am-6pm Mem Day to Labor Day
