GeographyPorterville is located at the south end of Morgan County, four miles southwest of Morgan. It is situated at a junction between Hardscrabble Canyon and East Canyon.[2] HistoryPorterville was first settled by Centerville residents Sanford and Nancy Warriner Porter in 1859. The area had abundant timber, so they built a sawmill, the first in Morgan County.[3] A town resident began teaching school out of her home in 1862, until a schoolhouse was built in 1867.[4] Western Shoshone, led by Chief Washakie, continued to frequent the area to hunt and gather berries for several years after settlement began.[3]Porterville ChurchThe original church house was erected in 1898 and subsequently dedicated in 1908 by President Joseph F. Smith. Eventually, costs of maintenance and needed repairs led the congregation to remodel the old school house and convert it for use as a church. Although the school house was sold to the ward in 1936, it was not until 1946 that regular meetings were held in the refinished space, mostly due to World War II. The church was sold to Marvin and Grace Kilbourn who, despite efforts at preservation, were unable to prevent vandalism over the next several decades. In 1970, the Bergman family purchased the church and remodeled it into a home while keeping the exterior intact.[5] In 1971, it was added to the Utah State Register of Historic Sites, which is now inactive.[6] In the conversion to a private home, the steeple tower that was wood framed with Gothic-arched frames on each side was removed.[7] After being seen in Troll 2 filmed in the area in 1989, a fire in 2000 destroyed all but a shell of the original building.[8] The Utah State Historical Society Classified Photo Collection contains a photograph of the "Porterville Meeting House" taken in 1920.[9] Also, there is a LeConte Stewart painting of the church from 1948 titled "Country Funeral, Porterville" that was featured in a LDS Church History Museum exhibit called Landscape & Life: The Rural Setting of Latter-day Saints from 24 October 2003 to 18 April 2004.[10][11] Mormon Flat Breastworks{{Infobox NRHP | name =Mormon Flat Breastworks| nrhp_type = | image = | caption = | nearest_city= Porterville | area = | built =1857 | architecture= Stone breastworks | added = October 27, 1988 | governing_body = Private | mpsub=Utah War Fortifications MPS | refnum=88001943[12] }} The Mormon Flat Breastworks, fortification structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places, are located along the north side of Jeremy Ranch Road on both sides of the mouth of Little Emigration Canyon.
