While driving through Spanish Fork one day, I saw this "Lighthouse in the Desert". It seemed a little odd to me so I stopped to "read more about it".
The plaque says "Leif Eriksson, an Icelander, discovered America in 1000 AD. Eight centuries later, in 1855-1860, sixteen pioneers from Iceland established in Spanish Fork the first permanent Icelandic Settlement in the United States."
In order to verify your visit, you need to EMAIL ME the following information:
What YEAR was the Icelandic Association of Utah formed as a non-profit corporation?
