HISTORY OF THE SHELTON CHURCH 1909- The Historic Shelton Church began when the early pioneers who attended the old schoolhouse needed a new place to hold church services in the area of Clark and Shelton.  Early settlers began construction of the Shelton chapel soon after.  Distinctly different from other church architecture the unique gothic styled chapel with tall arched windows was built with hundreds of man-hours of labor contributed by members and cash donations from the community.  E.H. Brown  donated the the  ground the church stands on. Frank Miskin invented a special saw to cut slabs of stone from the Willow Creek quarry-which soom became known as the Miskin quarry.  Willow Creek stone was soft when first taken from the earth, but hardened on exposure to air and thus was admirable building material.  Teams and wagons hauled the stone three miles from the quarry and young boys carried water and sand for the crevices.  Hans Jensen laid the 6 foot wide rock foundation which goes 7 feet into the ground.  Albert Carlson and his son laid the stone in the chapel.  John B. Johnson did the plastering.  John Howard was the first bishop of Shelton and supervised the building of the church.  Paddy Ferrell was the chief carpenter.  EH Egan, Edmond Lovell and Bishop Howard are  recorded for most man hours of work.  However, the Shelton church was built by the community and countless hours of work have been performed by numerous families.       1914- The building was dedicated by Apostle George F. Richards of Salt Lake City, UT.  Edith Haroldsen Lovell, local historian and author wrote this of the Shelton Church, “It has sheltered those who were troubled or grieved, and it has echoed with untold joy and inspiration and faith".         1927-Shelton Church was remodeled.  A ceiling, upstairs classrooms and dorms were added. 1976- Shelton Ward boundaries were realigned and members were assigned to attend meetings at the Clark Chapel. 1998- Renovation began on the 90 year old church by gutting the existing interior except for the chapel.   Stone Masons marveled at the 1909 craftsmanship as they painstakingly worked to repair and reveal the original stone work including the rock along the newly rebuilt stairs to enter the bell tower.  Scott  Haroldsen was the contractor and Gary Carlson was the architect.  Many parts of the old church were renovated including: Secretive entrance to the bell tower A 16 x 16 room was added with windows in the existing 51 foot high bell tower for a beautiful view in all directions. All bathrooms are tiled and four have jetted tubs. Alder solid wood doors and hand crafted cabinets and oak bookcase  complement the natural elements. A secretive protected children’s play area above family room and kitchen area  An aqua tinted brown glass sink was used for color in the powder room off the great room.    2000-The Historic Shelton Wedding and Reception Center approved by Bonneville County.    Numerous weddings and receptions have been held at the Historic Shelton the past five years. 2005- The Historic Shelton Wedding and Reception Center was purchased by Gregory M. Huff and Janet Huff who have continued renovation of the Historic Church beginning by starting the renovation of the bell tower to make it even more beautiful and inspiring.  It is our objective to continue in the inspired words of Apostle George F. Richards to have the Historic Shelton echo with untold joy, inspiration and faith.
