Memorial Hall Recreation Center

Some towns honor their war dead with a statue; Mount Pleasant built something the town could use. Memorial Hall is a "living memorial" — a community recreation building raised in honor of local servicemen and women across the wars. It's a particular strand of American remembrance: not a monument set apart from daily life but a useful place where a small Sanpete County town carries on the ordinary business of community, the names of its lost folded quietly into the building itself.
