Liberal Hall, 67 West Main Street, Mt. Pleasant, is significant in the history of both Sanpete County and Mt. Pleasant. The totally-renovated museum was originally built in 1874 by a group of local citizens who were disenchanted with the Mormon faith and wanted a building for their own religious and social activities.

A year later, a Presbyterian minister established a congregation and missionary school at Liberal Hall, which became the base of operations for a network of missionary schools in the territory and foundation of Wasatch Academy.

In the 1990s, Wasatch Academy acquired ownership of Liberal Hall, but was unable to use the building due to its deteriorated condition.

With the help of Certified Local grants, Wasatch Academy undertook a total building rehabilitation, even pursuing a major capital-campaign.

Liberal Hall was carefully restored as a major landmark on Mt. Pleasant’s Main Street and serves as the museum and cultural center for Wasatch Academy.
