On March 12, 1887, Frederick I. Jones, Farley R. Butt, Charles E. Walton, and George A. Adams came here to start the L.D.S. Blue Mountain Mission. After their families arrived, they camped at Verdure the first summer. In 1888, the families of M. Peterson, W.E. Hyde, Wm. Adams, and J.E. Rogerson came. This square became the activity center, with a sports area, bowery, log relief society room, and a co-op store. A log house built in 1888 stood 125 ft. west and was used for church, school, and recreation.
