25 day vacation...part IV

On our way to Bear Lake we drove through Logan, Utah.  It was the cutest little town so we had to stop on the way back from Bear Lake.  That temple is so pretty, I love it!!
Logan Temple was announced on May 18, 1877, just after the dedication of the St. George Temple in April 1877. The site of the Logan Temple had been held in reserve for many years.  The Salt Lake Temple had been announced years before in 1847 but construction was still underway and would not be completed until 1893, so the Logan Temple was built along with the St. George Temple to satisfy the church's immediate need for temples.
Roughly 25,000 people worked on the Logan Temple. Rocks and timber used for the temple was hauled from the Temple Fork area of Logan Canyon. As completion of the temple neared, women in the area were asked to make carpets for the temple, since commercially made carpet could not be bought in Utah at that time. The women spent two months working to hand make two thousand square yards of carpet.
The Logan temple had two towers and was based on the same pattern as the Salt Lake Temple, with a large assembly hall and other similar rooms. On May 17, 1884 the Logan temple was dedicated by Church President John Taylor.
