NOTES: Note below the high ratings for this marker in terms of "visibility" and "accessibility". I only rate it this high because it's tough to find a place to park and view this marker. Looking at my photos below, you might debate this statement, but the townspeople of Panaca watch over each other and keep a keen eye on outsiders. You're best bet is to park right behind LTS church (the largest building in town) and walk from there. Plus, you'll be able to conquer this one and #182 Ward Chapel too.
Description:
This building, popularly known as the Panaca Co-op, was constructed of adobe in 1868, by the (Mormon) "Panaca Cooperative Mercantile Institution" comprising more than 100 stock holders—to meet barter, merchandising and marketing needs. Wagons from Salt Lake drawn by six-mule teams, carried stocks to, and produce from, Panaca and way stations.
