St. Luke's Episcopalian Church (2) Markers
Park City, Summit County · Utah
Erected by NA, 1984
Park City was never a Mormon town the way most of Utah was. Its silver mines drew a Gentile workforce from across Europe and beyond — Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox — and they built their own houses of worship. St. Luke's Episcopal was one of them, a reminder that the camps of the Wasatch Back were among the most religiously mixed places in nineteenth-century Utah, a mining culture that grew up alongside the Latter-day Saint settlements rather than within them. This marker remembers that congregation and the church it raised.
