  • Summary

  • The Manti temple site was dedicated as President Brigham Young traveled back to Salt Lake after dedicating the newly finished St George Temple. In the same month he also traveled to Cache Valley to dedicate the site for the Logan Utah Temple.

    The Manti Utah Temple was built on a rattlesnake-infested site, known as the Manti Stone Quarry. Once Brigham Young designated the site for a temple, it became known as Temple Hill. The quarry's stone, Manti oolite, is the same cream-colored stone used for the temple exterior.
