RHONDA LAURITZEN / History of Ephraim Relief Society Granary

2024

The story of the Ephraim Relief Society Granary, an oolitic limestone structure built in the 1870’s for the purpose of storing wheat inventories collected as part of the historic grain saving program run by the women’s organization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints called the Relief Society. The building is now a locus for creative activity and the home of Granary Arts.
