Grantsville Fort
|
The
early settlers of Grantsville decided to build a fort as a means
of protection from local Native Americans. The walls on the north
and west sides were made of hard packed dirt and were five feet
wide at the bottom and 12-feet high. The other walls were of rock
and adobe construction, three feet wide and 12 feet high. The monument
marks the site where the fort was located. It sits beside the old
First Ward Church Building.
