Sorry about this everyone, but I think it's the best place to put stuff so it's searchable.

On our way home from our Bear Lake camping trip we stopped in Coalville where Andrew's Salmon ancestors lived.

This is the LDS church in Coalville, Andrew's ancestor was a bishop for a long time in Coalville, but the church he attended has since been torn down and replaced by this one.

This is the stained glass window taken from the original church.

And a plaque about the original tabernacle that reads:
"Site of the original Summit Stake Tabernacle 1879-1971.
Soon after the Summit Stake was organized on July 9, 1877, it was decided that a tabernacle should be built. Thomas L. Allen was appointed architect and builder, and the plans for the building were approved by Church architect Truman O. Angell. Ground was broken in the spring of 1879, with the cornerstone being laid by Apostle Franklin D. Richards on Aug. 7, 1879. Construction of the tabernacle included 600,000 locally made bricks and 75,000 feet of lumber. Oregon red pine and native lumber from Echo Canyon were used, and sandstone came from the Coalville ledge quarry. Painters and artists for the building were Anthony Olsen and his son Christian M. Olsen. Gothic stained-glass windows were imported from Belgium. The tabernacle was dedicated on May 14, 1899 by President Lorenzo Snow. Seventy-two years later, on March 3, 1971, the building was razed. Stained-glass windows and portraits of Church leaders were preserved and can be viewed in the present stake center. The tabernacle and the stake center that currently resides on this location were built by members of the Church through their faith and testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

This plaque was placed September 17, 2005.

I'm not sure what this is, I'm guessing City Hall?
