Panaca Ward Chapel

Oldest building in Lincoln County, constructed in 1867-1868 of adobe from the swamps west of town.

Built as a Mormon chapel, used also as a school and recreation hall, it is typical of the development in small Mormon pioneer communities in the intermountain west during the mid 1800’s.
