The temple construction was completed in 1888. Located in the city of Manti, Utah, it was the third Latter-day Saint temple built west of the Mississippi River, after the Mormon pioneers trekked west. The Manti Temple was designed by William Harrison Folsom, who moved to Manti while the temple was under construction. The temple dominates the Sanpete Valley and can be seen from many miles. Like all Latter-day Saint temples, only church members in good standing may enter. It was previously one of only two remaining Latter-day Saint temples in the world where live portrayal was used in the endowment ceremony. All other temples use a film in the presentation of the endowment, a practice that will also be used in Manti beginning in 2024 following renovation. It is an early pioneering example of four rooms representing the journey of life.
