     This is an outstanding old pioneer fort that was built to protect against hostile local Indian tribes in the late 1800's I believe.  This was built by the Mormon Church back in the day from old lava rocks from an extinct volcanoe that is near the fort.  When I was a kid I would always beg to stop there and go inside the gates and go from room to room and see the original furniture from the time period, and then go to the upper level and run from gun port to gun port to fire my imaginary rifle at the invading Indian forces...Any way, I have attached a link to show more of the fort.  This thing is so well preserved and sits right off the intersection of I-15 and I-70 which are two major roadways here in  Southern Utah.  If ever you are passing through, I strongly suggest making the short stop, this place is gorgeous to look at

Hello toleary34

Thank you for the interesting post.

I learn some thing new every day on this site. I always had the impression all forts in the United states were made of logs.

I guess I had spent too many years watching F Troop as a kid.  Grin

Hardluck   Cheesy

Hardluck, thanks again for your posts.  there is another fort here in Utah, that I didn't even know existed that was built in the 1800's by a group of soldiers to protect themselves against the hostile Indians in the area.  this fort was made entirely of mud and still stands to this very day, so I am going to go down and find this place, and will post the pictures as soon as I get them.. thank you for your interest and all of your posts.

     Mark, thank for the links and additional info on all of my posts.  when people do like you are doing with your own research, I learn things about these places that I never even knew about even though I have been visiting them,  thank you very very much.
