Lehi in Utah County, Utah — The American Mountains (Southwest)
Lehi Relief Society Hall
Many instances of spiritual outpourings are recorded as having taken place in this building. Eliza R. Snow, General President of the L.D.S. Relief Society, attended many meetings in this building and on one occasion interpreted the speaking of tongues. This hall was the scene of Sunday School and Primary classes as well as weddings, anniversaries and other social events. Utah’s local silk industry was sponsored and centered from this building. The Woman’s Suffrage Association of Lehi was organized here. Many women in Lehi enjoyed gathering in the spirit of Relief Society.
The building was renovated in 1942 to be used as a residence. The exterior appearance has been altered, but there have been no additions to the original dimensions of the building. It is one of a few remaining Relief Society Halls still standing today.
