The Grantsville First Ward Building in Grantsville, Utah, has a special heritage. It is one of the oldest ward buildings to be used continuously in the state of Utah since 1866. The original settlers of Grantsville were members of the Church sent by Brigham Young to colonize the area in 1848. They formed what would become the first branch of the Church there in 1851 and built a log meetinghouse with a dirt floor. By 1865, the number of residents had grown to the point that plans were under way for the new meetinghouse. Built within the boundaries of the settlement’s first walled fort, the building cost early Latter-day Saints $10,000. Dedicatory services on 14 July 1866 were attended by Brigham Young, Wilford Woodruff, George Albert Smith, and Franklin D. Richards, with the dedicatory prayer by George Q. Cannon.
