Overview

The Box Elder Tabernacle is a striking example of neo-Gothic architecture in the heart of Brigham City, Utah. Originally constructed in 1890 and rebuilt after a fire in 1896, the tabernacle features soaring spires, stained glass windows, and a grand pipe organ. It serves as a gathering place for religious services, musical performances, and civic events, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building’s craftsmanship and acoustics make it a cherished landmark for both locals and visitors.

Located across from the Brigham City Utah Temple, the tabernacle is a centerpiece of the city’s historic downtown. While interior access is limited to scheduled events, the exterior and surrounding grounds are open to the public. Interpretive signs provide historical context, and the building’s architecture offers a glimpse into the pioneer-era dedication to community and faith. Whether attending a concert or simply admiring its façade, the Box Elder Tabernacle is a cultural gem worth visiting.
