Old Rock Church Traditional Cache

This cache is located at an interesting historical site - the Mt. Carmel Historic Rock Church. Besides the church there is some other interesting historical tidbits presented here. The cache is a small key box and you will need to BYOP.  I always like caches that occur at interesting historical sites. Hope you do too.

Mt. Carmel School and Church, also known as the Historic Rock Church, is a historic Latter Day Saints church and school located off U.S. Route 89 in Mt. Carmel, Utah.

The historic rock church in Mount Carmel was used to school the children living in the Mount Carmel area. The log building was built in 1880 and used as a church, school house and recreation hall. In 1890 it was converted into the stone structure.

In 1919 it burned down. In 1923 it was rebuilt, this time with rock. After the small building was rebuilt, the rock structure was used almost entirely as a church. The children who once attended school in the log building rode to nearby Orderville in a covered wagon each day to attend school. The Historic Rock Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
