Overview
The Kanesville Memorial commemorates a pivotal chapter in Latter-day Saint history. A log tabernacle built near this site in 1846 served as the location where Brigham Young was sustained as president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before the continued westward migration of Mormon pioneers. While neither the original tabernacle nor its 1996 replica remains standing today, the site now features interpretive signage, sculptures, walkways, and a visitor center that shares the Council Bluffs area's role in pioneer history and westward expansion.
