At his inauguration of the tabernacle in the Uintah Stake on August 24, 1907, Latter-day Saint Joseph F. Smith, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, told his audience that he “would not be surprised if the day came Temple “would be built here in your own midst.”
The tabernacle was a popular building in the relatively small and fairly isolated town of Vernal, Utah. But at some point it became obsolete. It held its last stake conference in 1983 and deteriorated over the years. The idea of converting it into a temple came up as early as 1984. In 1993 this proposal was approved. The interior of the tabernacle was completely gutted and a temple was erected within its walls, below and in adjacent structures. Today the Vernal Utah Temple bears two dedication dates, 1907 and 1997, representing its first consecration as a tabernacle and its second consecration, its remarkable transformation into a temple.
