Bear Lake Stake Tabernacle, Tabernacle in Paris, Idaho, United States

The Bear Lake Stake Tabernacle is a Romanesque meetinghouse of red sandstone on Main Street in Paris, Idaho, designed by Joseph Don Carlos Young and built from 1884 to 1889. Its stone was quarried at Indian Creek Canyon, about 18 miles away, and hauled by horse and ox teams. The hall seats around 2,000 people.

Construction took place between 1884 and 1889 when Mormon settlers hauled red stone from Indian Creek Canyon using teams of horses and oxen. This effort reflected the commitment to establishing permanent religious institutions in the frontier valley.

The tabernacle was dedicated on September 15, 1889, by LDS Church president Wilford Woodruff. It still serves the Bear Lake Stake congregations and the wider community, and was refurbished in 2004 and 2005.

The building sits directly on Main Street in the center of town and is easy to locate and access on foot. Visitors can enter outside of scheduled services, though it is best to check ahead since events and gatherings take place regularly throughout the year.

The tabernacle was planned for dedication in 1888, but a fire partly destroyed the interior and it had to be restored before Wilford Woodruff dedicated it on September 15, 1889. The building cost $50,000, about $1.79 million in 2025 dollars, and seats around 2,000 people.
