Oakley Tabernacle
In April 1879 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from Tooele, Utah, under the direction of Wm. E. Martindale, arrived in Oakley where James Dayley and his two sons had staked claims and built cabins. On Sept. 24, 1882, the Saints were organized onto a ward with Horton D. Haight, Bishop. In 1902 the Cassia Stake Tabernacle was built of native stone. With a seating capacity of 700, it was completed at a cost of $12,000. Destroyed by fire in 1965.
