The Paris Tabernacle

The Paris Tabernacle
 The Paris Tabernacle was started in 1884 and completed in 1889.  The Kennington family was getting settled in Star Valley about that time, but Annie K. Matthews and her family were certainly involved in the process since they were still living in the area.

It's a beautiful building.  Do a search - there are some fabulous photos of the interior.

The Fielding Academy comes up in the Kennington material from time to time - that was the local high school's name.  It sat on a bench on the west side of Paris. 

We're anticipating another trip over there to check out the local collections, etc. Any advice would be appreciated.
