Remember the Mezona
Mesa Temple Events presents a presentation byproduct BYU Professor Fred E. Woods titled: Remember the Mezona: A Centennial Commemoration.
The Mezona stands as one of Mesa, Arizona’s most cherished historical landmarks—a place where generations gathered to dance, celebrate, worship, socialize, and build community. Its origins trace back to the Maricopa Stake Academy, established in 1896, and more directly to the visionary efforts of John and Sarah Vance. With a desire to provide wholesome entertainment for the youth of the Salt River Valley, the Vances built the Vance Auditorium in 1907, an impressive 100-by-130-foot structure that quickly became the heart of Mesa’s recreational life.
