The Home of Truth was founded as a religious colony in 1933 by Marie Ogden, of Newark, NJ, who was guided to the desolate location along UT HWY 211 by some divine power. Marie claimed to be the Virgin Mary reincarnate and formed an esoteric belief system rooted in metaphysics and Christianity. Comprised of three locations, the inner, middle, and outer portals, the Home of Truth grew to over 100 members at its peak in the mid-1930's. This web page represents the modern day Middle Portal.
