The Cody Wyoming Temple opened Thursday for a public open house running daily through September 12, except Sundays. Local members and community leaders described the temple as a "gift from God" for the rural region, which previously required a 200-mile drive to the nearest temple.
The temple will be dedicated in early October. Cody is Wyoming's first new temple in more than 30 years.
