The Assembly Hall, located on the northwest corner of the public square was erected in 1882. It was built of logs and served the community for school, church, and all public assemblies. Here St. Johns stake of the L.D.S. Church was organized July 23, 1887. The church academy was founded January 14, 1889 and the building dedicated December 16, 1900.
