American Fork Presbyterian Church
Description
The Gothic Revival church building is located at 75 North 100 East and was constructed in 1879. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is significant as the first Protestant church in American Fork.
Two meetinghouses of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Church) in American Fork are also NRHP-listed. Non-members of the LDS Church became more numerous after the transcontinental railroad opened in 1869.
The 1984 movie Footloose filmed most of the movie's church scenes in the church.
As of 2012 the congregation is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
