Farmington Ward

With construction beginning in 1861 and the main chapel completed in 1863, the Farmington Ward Rock Chapel is one of the oldest buildings in the church.

Luckily, it's been very well preserved.




Obviously, the original rock chapel has had many additions over the years. The Primary Organization first began in this chapel in 1878, so it's named the "Primary Memorial Chapel." Look for interior pictures in my next post!

  1. Where is this located? Which "Farmington" does this belong to? Very interesting.

    1. This is Farmington Utah--just north of Salt Lake City. This is on main street in the city.
