In 1874 a group of Mt. Pleasant citizens who were disenchanted with the Mormon faith worked together to construct a building for their own religious and social activities, which is now known as Liberal Hall.

A year later, Presbyterian Minister Duncan McMillan, 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 the foundation of Wasatch Academy.

Located at 67 West Main Street, Mt. Pleasant, Liberal Hall is significant in the history of both Sanpete County and Mt. Pleasant.

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 has been carefully restored as a major landmark on Mt. Pleasant’s Main Street and serves as the museum and cultural center for Wasatch Academy. Hours of operation will be posted at the museum or call (435) 462-1443 for appointment.
