At that meeting they were inspired to reorganize the First Presidency with Brigham Young as President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Heber C. Kimball and Willard Richards as his counselors. In order to present the new First Presidency to the general Church membership, Henry W. Miller was asked to build a tabernacle in Kanesville that could hold a large number of people. The present log tabernacle is an authentic replica. For the first time since the Church was organized, its members sustained a new First Presidency. While in the area, visit the Mormon Trail Center in Omaha, Nebraska.
