“Anson’s Dream - A Legacy in Stone”
Built by Anson Call, one of Bountiful’s founders, remembered in Mormon history for recording Joseph Smith's Rocky Mountain prophecy.

Restoring it means preserving the story of our beginnings for our future generations
Anson Call, May 13, 1810 – August 31, 1890
The Anson Call House is the oldest standing structure in Bountiful, a treasured landmark that connects us to the city’s earliest days. Together, we’re working to awaken that history and honor “Anson’s Dream.”
Anson Call, one of Bountiful’s founding pioneers, devoted his life to building and serving his community. The home he built in 1859 became the heart of his family’s life and a symbol of his dedication, generosity, and faith.
We believe the story of this home, and the history it represents, belongs to the entire Bountiful community. With your help, we’re restoring the Anson Call House to its former beauty so that future generations can experience and take pride in this piece of our shared pioneer heritage.
Every contribution supports the preservation of this remarkable part of Bountiful’s history.
