Relief Society Hall

The Relief Society — the women's organization of the Latter-day Saint church — built this hall in Beaver in 1896, one of only two buildings in town ever tied to the group. Here the women met, organized their charitable work, and ran the affairs a frontier congregation leaned on them to run. In later years the building served the school board and then a feed-and-grain business, before the town renovated it for a new public purpose: today the old Relief Society Hall houses the Beaver City Fire Department.

What the plaque says

Built in 1896, the Beaver Relief Society Hall is one of only two buildings in Beaver associated with the Relief Society, the organization for women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The building was used for general gathering purposes by the Relief Society and was later used by the Beaver Board of Education and a feed and grain firm. Today, the building has been renovated and is now the home of the Beaver City Fire Department.
