| The Idaho Falls Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is located on a beautiful spot of land overlooking the falls of the Snake River. The land was donated by the Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce. It was completed in 1945. The Temple is not open to the public, but the visitor's center is located directly in front of it. |
The cornerstone for the Idaho Falls Temple was laid on October 19, 1940. In March 1937 the First Presidency had announced that a temple was planned to be built in Idaho and even as early as 1918 plans for this temple had been discussed. |
On September 23, 1945, the temple was dedicated by Pres. George Albert Smith, who was President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the time.
