The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Temple is an easily visible icon of the Cache Valley landscape. The edifice was built from 1877-1884 by the donated labor and materials of early pioneers. The modified Gothic building rests on a terrace of the ancient Lake Bonneville, and the exterior was built with locally quarried limestone and sandstone. The beautifully manicured grounds are open to the public, but access to the Temple is reserved for Church members only.

The Tabernacle was completed in 1891 and is a striking example of an early Mormon pioneer public meetinghouse. A beautiful pipe organ was installed in 1908 and the building is used for Church conferences, community concerts, and other presentations. An extensive genealogy library is located in the basement of the building where volunteers can help research your ancestors. Tabernacle tours are available Mondays through Saturdays throughout the summer. Free "Noon Music at the Tabernacle" concerts are performed Monday through Friday from Memorial Day through mid-August.
