Bear Lake Stake Tabernacle

The Bear Lake Stake Tabernacle, or Paris Tabernacle is situated on main street in Paris, Idaho, is a Romanesque red sandstone meetinghouse of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) designed by Joseph Don Carlos Young, the son of Brigham Young, built between 1884 and 1889.

The tabernacle was built by Mormon pioneers of Bear Lake Valley who used horse and ox teams to haul rock quarried from Indian Creek Canyon, nearly 18 miles away.

[2] After completion of the Logan Utah Temple in 1884, workers began construction of the tabernacle, which was supervised by William Budge.

The tabernacle was dedicated September 15, 1889, by LDS Church president Wilford Woodruff.

The tabernacle was refurbished in 2004 and 2005 and continues to operate as a meeting place for the Bear Lake Stake congregations and community.
