1. D
Horsefly, British Columbia
For 100 years, Horsefly, British
Columbia went without a church meetinghouse until LDS Church members finally
built one in 1981. The isolated logging community of 500 had 42 members with a
95 percent activity rate when their new building was dedicated. Settled during
the gold rush days in the 1870s and ‘80s, the community was first called
Harper’s Camp, but residents decided to rename it after the large and
troublesome flies buzzing in the area.

2. A
Hannoverisch, Munden, Germany
Built in 1687 in Hannoverisch,
Munden, Germany, a 275-year-old building became the oldest LDS chapel in the
world when it was dedicated in 1962. A sign over the door dated 1775 tells of a
former occupant, George Grotfend, who was famous for being one of the original
deciphering experts of ancient cuneiform script.
