The Friends of Wasatch organization was founded in 1998. One of the first projects we took on was the restoration of the historic Tate Barn. The barn is one of the few remaining examples of classic wooden barn architecture in northern Utah. It was built in the late 1890s by the Tate family. Over the years it was heavily damaged by fire and by heavy snows. The barn was rebuilt using traditional wooden barn building techniques, and was completed just in time for the 2002 Winter Olympics. It is located near the Soldier Hollow 2002 Olympic venue. It is now one of the historic landmarks of the Heber Valley
