    Quick Description: A unique marker remembering an original marketplace established by early Nevada mormons, one of the first place of commercial commerce in Nevada.
    Signed: No -- Historically, this marker was never signed.

    To the average person, this looks like just any older style supermarket.
    The inconspicuous nature of the Silver State: To Be Continued.

    NOTES: Notice the high ratings for #93's "visibility" and "accessibility." Finding a place to park is a challenge in this protective and tight-knit community. In the ways of typical Utah, Panaca folks keep a keen eye on outsiders. In other words, prepare to be watched like a hawk. You're best bet is to park right behind the LDS church (the largest building in town) and walk from there. Plus, you'll be able to conquer #182 Ward Chapel too.

    Full Description:
    Exact description as reads ...

    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.

    So far away from headquarters, it's nice to see this baby marker in such excellent condition!
