In 1904, Salt Lake City's "Greek Town" had become the economic, social, and residential center for thousands of Greeks. The official life of the Greek Orthodox community of Utah began on October 29, 1905, with an elaborate religious ceremony and the dedication of the church of Holy Trinity. By August 2, 1925, the church had grown so much that they had to build a new church. Then again the early 1960s, the community had experienced incredible growth with nearly 1,000 children attending Sunday School, requiring two Divine Liturgies and two Sunday School sessions. The necessity for larger classrooms resulted in the building of a second church. The first Divine Liturgy was held on December 21, 1969, in the newly erected church. The Hellenic Cultural Museum, a "People's Museum", was dedicated on May 3, 1992. This museum shows the hardships of the people and their history. Open every Wednesday from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon.
