The site primary included a lime kiln, built in 1903, which was deemed significant as a structure

He was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1855, and arrived in Utah in 1859 as a member of the Rowley Handcart Company. Jenson lived the doctrine of plural marriage, being joined to three women; and later served a sixty-two day sentence for polygamy.^[2]
