The Manti Tabernacle in Manti, Utah is a building built and used by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It no longer functions as a tabernacle but as a regular church building, making it one of three 19th-century Latter-day Saint buildings still used for weekly services. The other two are the Pine Valley chapel in Washington County, Utah, and the tabernacle in Bountiful, Utah. [1] It was restored beginning in 2014, the exterior was to look as it did in 1879 and the chapel as it appeared after the 1921 remodel. [1] The mural that hangs in the chapel is the same as that appearing in the Provo Utah Temple. [2]
