HISTORY OF PLAIN CITY RECREATION HALL

 

Pioneer settlers of the early communities loved to dance. Plain City residents began dancing on bare dirt floors four months after arriving here. Later, they danced in homes and school houses.

 

One school house was an adobe building on the south side of the square. Local talent was used for the music and entertainment.

 

An amusement hall, where dances were held, was located between the Leah Penman home and the George Weatherston home, where Lynn Folkman's home now stands. It faced west, with a raised stage in the west end. This property was deeded to the L.D.S. Church in December, 1906.

An Act of Congress, dated April 24, 1820, entitled "An act making further provision for the sale of public lands, etc.," Utah Territory, U.S.A., signed by President Ulysses S. Grants gave a tract of land 640 acres for the town-site of Plain City.

 

Some of this property was deeded to Charles Weatherston December 9, 1898. Mr. Weatherston deeded a lot to the Church when George W. Bramwell was Bishop.

 

The recreation hall was destroyed by fire before 1912. Since then, the property has been deeded back to Weatherstons.

 

An open air dance hall was built just west of the present L.D.S. Chapel in 1925. It was a community landmark and had an extra special dance floor. Later! it was closed in so it could be enjoyed in the winter months.

 

The Church Center had just been completely remodeled on the inside, including a basketball court, a beautiful modern kitchen, and other features, when it was destroyed by fire April 22, 1967.
