HISTORY

This first meetinghouse in Enterprise was built in 1898 when there was only seven families in Enterprise. William H. Marshall made the bricks.

This meetinghouse was used for both the town church and school until 1913 when it was replaced by a new and bigger building.

Eventually, the building was taken over by the Pilot Peak Camp of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers for use as a museum.

This building was put on the National Register of Historic Places (#1993000410) in 1993.

In 1994, the roof was rebuilt and the chimney was removed.
