Nearby Temples[]
Nibley Utah West Stake is one of 44 stakes that is served by the nearby Logan Temple. On May 17, 1884, the Logan Utah Temple was dedicated by LDS Church president John Taylor. The design incorporates an unusual amount of Gothic detailing compared to other temples, which are more Renaissance or Byzantine-inspired. It is the 2nd oldest operating temple of the church and serves the saints in Cache Valley.
There is a temple under construction in Smithfield, about 15 miles from the stake center, although it will likely not directly serve the stake.
