Fort Wall & Lehi Pioneers (4) Markers

Lehi was settled in 1850, one of the earliest towns south of Salt Lake, and like most frontier settlements its first communal project was defense: a fort wall, built of adobe and stone, enclosing the cabins against the uncertainty of the surrounding country. This cluster of markers remembers that wall and the pioneers who raised the town behind it. The wall is long gone — outgrown and dismantled as the threat receded and Lehi spread past it — but the grid of the old town still carries the memory of the square it once enclosed.
