The Old Church at Rockport State Park, Utah USA - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

The Old Rockport Church now stands in Rockport State Park, 4.5 miles south of the nearest town, Wanship, Utah. Until 1956 it stood about 1.5 miles further south, amid a loose collection of farms, a saw mill and a grist mill, in a small town called Rockport, now a ghost town.

The white-frame, one room building was constructed in 1892 and used by the surrounding communities for Mormon church services, weddings, community events, meetings & dances. It served the community at large until 1956 when a dam was finished on the Weber River, ultimately flooding the area.

The old church stood unused at its new location and slowly fell into disrepair. It 2005 a restoration of the old church was mounted and the building once again came to life. The Old Church at Rockport State Park is now on display in a small campground, mirroring it’s former setting, just a bit over 4 miles south of the nearest town of Wanship Utah. The entire area still retains it rural appeal.
