Historical site
Keystone got its start following construction of the Union Pacific Railroad through the territory.[8]
Keystone is home to the Little Church at Keystone, designed by Thomas R. Kimball and built in 1908.[9][10] The town was too small to hold two churches, so several community members funded the construction through bake sales. The church has a Catholic altar on one end, a Protestant lectern at the other, and hinged pews to make the seats reversible.[10]
